Our story

Since 2012.

Churches, neighbors and volunteers serving together.

A ministry built on care.

It started August 12, 2012, by the collaborative efforts of Crestwood Christian Fellowship and First United Methodist Church providing the volunteer backbone, the hospitality foods, hair salon, limited undergarment distribution, toiletries, and even seasonal items.

Today we have periodic donations from other church collections, businesses, individuals, and agencies. These donations, whether goods or funds, are a boost to our ability to provide more of the basic needs when our guests come to shower but we still need a lot more help.   Join with us and make a difference in the lives of these people working on improving their lives.

There’s more than one way to help.

Practical gifts

Everyday essentials

Clothing basics, toiletries, hairbrushes, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste are among the needs listed by the ministry.

Hospitality

A warm welcome

Ask about helping provide refreshments, connecting guests with resources or joining a shower team.
