Lazarus House
Who We Are
Our mission is to offer guests connected to our communities, who are homeless or in need, hope for the future by providing hospitality, food, safe shelter, and education – tools for life. We strive to make certain that all who enter feel the love of Jesus.
Our Goals
· Help homeless persons return to independent living with the skills and habits needed for long-term success.
· Offer services and referrals to help those in need in our community in order to prevent homelessness and support the well-being of individuals and their families.
“When I arrived at Lazarus House I no longer knew who I was and the person I used to be was gone. I thought I would just be getting a bed at night and a little food during the day, but I realized that I have received so much more from everyone at Lazarus House. I have received support, encouragement, laughter, and hope. After many years, I am finally beginning to emerge from the fog I was once in and see little bits of myself again and it feels really good. Thank you.
