Our Spring and Summer Hours are in full swing.
Come see us Saturday to Thursday, 2 PM - 8 PM. Closed on Fridays.
Homelessness doesn’t end when the sun comes up.
We are The Listening House, a daytime shelter for people experiencing poverty, homelessness, and loneliness. Anyone who drops in can find safety, a hot cup of coffee, and a caring community to help or just listen.

WHY ARE WE HERE?
Because our neighbors need us. Last year, more than 2,959 people came through our doors seeking support, connection & a safe place to belong.
Many of our guests are experiencing homelessness, deep poverty, or social isolation. Some are navigating chronic physical or mental health conditions, substance use disorders, trauma, or barriers to stable employment and housing. Others simply need a warm meal, a listening ear, access to basic resources, or a place where they are treated with dignity and respect.
