When Home Isn't an Option, Hope Is
After being discharged from the hospital, most people long for the comfort of their own home—a place to rest, recover, and heal. But for those facing homelessness, the journey from hospital bed to healing can seem impossible.
Our Solution
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
– Matthew 11:28
