Today was a good day until I showed up here. Now usually I come here everyday except for the weekends to grab meals. On this particular day as I do every other day pulled up in my car blasting music so everybody can enjoy the music that has no lyrics in it. Well it just so happens that one of the so-called employees that work there told me to turn my music down. I did so. Then they started serving meals so I walked over there to get in line kind of frustrated seeing that the lady that told me to turn my music down got into her car and began to leave. So I walked past their car talking to somebody else asking them why people can't mind their business? This lady got out her car went and told on me and she told them that I was selling drugs at this location. I know nobody doesn't know me but I do NO drugs I have no reason to be in rehabilitation I have no reason to have a shelter the only reason why I'm up there was to get a meal. So for her to go behind my back go to these people and tell them a lie when they are a Christian community and then get me banned and get me search by police is demonic the place is a cult. And I refuse to say any good thing about this place so from this point on. I will definitely NOT recommend this place to go to for anybody to shelter at. NEGATIVE REVIEW

I have grave concerns for this shelter and how they operate. First, I've had a friend who they confiscated books from because they don't approve of non-christian books. They will try to coerce you to their faith, and you won't be helped as much if you aren't presenting as a Christian. Second, as quoted in the April Mountain Express, the executive director makes clear that he does not support harm reduction and is okay with our brothers, sisters, parents, family, and friends to die like dogs in the street. The CDC shows people that frequent harm reduction programs are about three times more likely to stop using drugs than those without access. This is a "Christ" based ministry without the part about loving your neighbor.

My son has been there for several months, and I can see a significant difference in him! Very grateful for this place, and the excellent staff.

I went there after I was attacked. There's a lot of double standards. I found a job working almost 60 hour sa week. They have people that do absolutely nothing but sleep which I thought was odd because just working 8 hours on Friday and Saturday and getting off at 1:30 I still had to hangout till 2:.30. I wouldn't go back here. Everyone there claims brain seizures very odd. If you want to do better do it on your own. They wont help you.

I was totally unaware of this facility until recently. Some coworkers and I were given a tour. The scope of what this place offers is a wonder! They are a safe place for men and women, to get the resources they need to get their lives back on track. They have a mental health professional as well as visiting medical personnel every week. There's an after school program for kids. A great place helping our neighbors that need time to heal. Consider giving them your time and/or money.

Thank God for this resource, no it's not a 5 star hotel but it sure is better than sleeping out in the rain. They feed three times a day and I promise you won't leave hungry.
