The Richard Allen Outreach Center provides comfort, relief, and educational services to needy citizens in Metropolitan Atlanta. The RAOC assists by providing food, clothing, educational counseling, computer training and transitional shelter. The project teaches self-esteem, safety, hygiene and character building. My Sister's Place is a transitional home for homeless and battered women with children.
Residents receive information and referrals for a variety of life skills.
As a transitional home, volunteers work with residents to ensure a that a Christ-centered support system and foundation are established before the women return to their communities. Breaking the cycle of homelessnesss is a major start in eliminating the problems of the homeless. Volunteer partners are needed. Through several phases this ministry meets the growing and feeding needs. First, the Welcome Table was housed in the Fellowship Hall, then became a joint venture between Big Bethel and St. Luke Episcopal Church.
