Narrative

We offer a continuum of care for our beloved Guests in five essential service areas: Shelter, Clothing, Food, Advocacy and Community Resources.

Our Lazarus House Family Shelter is both the last line of defense and the first ray of hope for many of the families who find themselves at our door. When our Family Shelter Guests need a longer advocacy period and additional education to learn and practice healthy and needed skills for success, they may apply to our transitional housing program at Capernaum Place that offers more independent living with private apartments for families.

Our food programs are supported by the Advocacy Team and a host of loving, caring full and part time staff that care about each Guest. Every person we serve is treated with dignity, respect, love, kindness and without judgment.

Our thrift store is where volunteers and staff serve our Guests thoughtfully, carefully, respectfully and safely. This store strengthens the neighborhood by selling affordable items, offering jobs and volunteer opportunities to local residents and funding life-changing programs within Lazarus House Ministries. In some cases, (ie: victims of fire or flood or disaster) we provide no-charge vouchers based on the person's ability to pay.
