“He met with six different agencies and received free dental work, social security help, banking assistance and VA services through the new center,” according to a press release. “The change in my life, in one week, has been astronomical,” the guest told the mission.

The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It operates as a warming center and serves daily lunch at noon.
