Recent road construction on Amador Ave. has blocked off our normal entrance/exit. Instead, drivers need to turn just a few feet away on our auxiliary entrance. We hope this will be a very temporary change. Sorry for the inconvenience.

GADZOOS GAZEBO!
Thanks to the sweat and perseverance of Mike and Brad, and other volunteers, the Gazebo has launched!
As you can see, it is quite large.
We wanted shade for the women and children from the harsh sun. This was the most cost effective means of providing a shaded area where women can talk, and watch their children play. Thank you to those who donated their money and or time to make this possible. We appreciate you.

Better than a blanket
"Do you have a blanket?" a man asked Chuck, our Assistant Director, a few nights ago. Chuck asked him why he needed a blanket and the man replied that he needed it to sleep outside. "Why are you sleeping outside?" Chuck asked, "when we have a soft comfortable bed for you to sleep in here at the mission?". The man was surprised and delighted that he could stay here. He is still at the mission and has more than a blanket. He has a place to stay, three meals and a chance to get his life back together again. Thank you for helping us provide 120 beds and safe, comfortable shelter for men, women and children.
