Great breakfasts I just got my apt around CORNER after homeless for4 years and I get up for 7am serving of breakfast just to find my eyes open and heart beating well for each day NOW As kinda a new ritual to start ea day and now not on salvation 3rd floor with 86 other women ITS kinda quiet in apt too much at times..Also the Catholic charities has a healthcare for the homeless clinic went to at salvation army for colds and therapy appts so it transfers over to this site.and a foot care clinic As well as at Sallys too on WednesdAys BUT BEST of all for me at least they have 2 y'all bookshelves full of donated onceread books both paperback and hardcover that are free for PPL to borrow or just plain old have for themselves and I always CAN find amazing theological topic authors and their writings in between all the many novels of drama and crime mysterys. So I'm getting to point where my small studio apt is going to need what I cherish myself and that is ..my very own bookcase full of specially picked out and read books for rest of my life to re-read every few years or so...and they also serve two sittings of lunch between 11 30 and 12.00 with a morning snack approx 9.45am...I can honestly brag. That IVE NEVER EVER LEFT THE BRANCH. HUNGRY ANY TIME OR DAY THAT IVE BEEN THERE FOR ANY MEAL OR SNACK BETTER THAN HOUSE OF CHARITY ..BY SO MUCH FURTHER HANDS DOWN TRULY.....SOOOO MUCH MORE SATISFYING ....YOU DONT LEAVE HUNGRY AND ITSALWAYS...
Read moreIt's a place for homeless people and anyone else in need where you can stay most of the day off your feet and rest as well as eat 2 meals breakfast at 6:30 & 7am. Lunch at 12 &12:30pm. There is a computer room upstairs as well as staff to help you look for housing, jobs, transportation, & other resources. I think staff could be alot nicer. They let you take free showers and you can do your laundry but you have to pay $1 per load. I think it should be free being that these are people that don't have much money. You do have to take down a number though so the earlier you get there the better. They have foot care with Foot Care for Soles every Wednesday with the ladies from church that do a pretty good job. They trim your nails, lather your feet up with lotion, and give you a free pair of socks. I think it's a very kind deed of them to do this. Alot of people are on their feet all day & just need a little TLC. Lockers are open twice a day Mon-Sat Sun closed. But you have to pay $5 for the whole month to use it. After the month is up you'll have to wait another month to use it again. You can also get your mail sent here. To use Catholic Charities services you must have an ID card. I appreciate the housing team because they helped me with emergency rent for a couple of months when no one else would help me. So a big shout out to them. All in all it's a good place especially for people that have nowhere else to go...
