💛 What Is Outreach Day?

Outreach Day is a time to rest, clean up, and get help. We welcome adults who are going through hard times. You don’t need to bring anything—just come as you are.

 

✅ What We Offer

• A 10-minute shower

• Clean clothes (if we have your size)

• A blessing bag with snacks and supplies

• A safe, cool place to sit and rest

• Connections to things like ID, food stamps, or housing

 

🪪 ID Policy

We need a copy of your ID on file to provide services. You only need to show it once—not every time. If you don’t have an ID yet, that’s okay. We will help you apply and get a copy made. We accept paper copies, printed photos, or real IDs.

 

👶 No Children During Outreach

Outreach Day is for adults only. No one under 18 is allowed during this time to help keep all guests safe.

🐾 Animals

Animals are allowed. Please keep them on a leash and with you at all times. Do not tie animals to the building or furniture. You are responsible for your animal’s behavior and cleanup.

🧡 Final Words
