Day Shelter Services
What is a Day Shelter? A Day Shelter is a program where persons or families that become homeless may come and rest for the day. Our Day Shelter is a Christian program that is geared to help people who truly what to help themselves. Persons that come to our day program who are serious about ending homelessness are usually placed into their own furnished apartment in (3) three weeks or less.
What are the hours of the Day Shelter? 8:00am to 6:30 pm.
What is the address for the program? 937 Sims St., Atlanta, GA 30310
What should I expect? You should expect a happy, empowering facility with staff that cares. Don’t bring an attitude, because we don’t cater to victims only victors. If you need an address, you can use ours. If you need a contact phone number, we have one! If you are working and need to rest for the day, it is permitted. If you are tired because of worry, you will be led in prayer. If you would like to catch up on the news, we have cable tv, internet and more. If you need a shower and fresh clothes, we can meet that need too! If you need a hygiene kit and clothes, that’s an easy request. On the other hand, we are not a hand out, but a hand up; so you might be asked to help in an area of the ministry, warm up some food for a stranger, fold clothes or almost anything. We all have a part in making your day successful. We would love to welcome you to our day program.

What Next? Then the next day begins all over again, until we can get you into a transitional housing program, drug program or your own apartment! God bless you.
