“Open Arms Shelter, a Biblical faith-based organization – providing temporary shelter and guidance toward an independent life through hope, encouragement, and shelter.”
OUR SERVICES
Temporary ShelteR & Food
Open Arms Shelter provides overnight shelter for our residents. The shelter is closed from 9am until 6pm each day and residents must vacate the property during this time. Residents get a meal, a warm bed, and a shower! They also have an opportunity to do their laundry.
Residents receive three meals a day and snacks. We serve a continental breakfast each morning, give them a sack lunch, and they have a hot dinner at night. Individuals in the community, church groups, and restaurants sign-up to donate dinner each evening.
“For I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Matthew 25:35
Case Management and Support Team
Our residents meet with their case manager for assistance in tracking their goals and progress. Our case managers are trained to help residents obtain housing, a job, food assistance, medical care, and a wide variety of other services that they need to become self-sufficient.
Pastoral care
Open Arms Shelter provides our residents with Biblical-based counseling and care. Our pastoral team consists of local pastors and ministers from multiple county-area churches. Our pastors take every opportunity to provide for our residents.
