The homeless guests arrive at our church at 6 p.m. for a home-cooked meal prepared by volunteers. They have a television, VCR, a telephone for local calls, magazines and games for adults and children available. They sleep on individual cots separated by privacy walls. We arrange the partitions in the fellowship hall so that families are together. Our guests are encouraged to use our shower facilities.
Snacks are available throughout the evening.
Volunteers stay overnight with the guests, who are offered a breakfast in the morning and who are expected to leave by 7 a.m. They may leave their belongings at their bedside. During the day, many of the homeless guests go to jobs. They are encouraged to seek employment and permanent housing. A Day Center is open at the First Christian Church in Medina.
