Imagine walking into a space after a long, overwhelming day and being welcomed with a warm meal.

That is what we want every young person at our shelter to experience.

You can be part of that.

We’ve recently expanded from 5 nights to 7 nights a week.

That means more youth are finding safety here, and it also means we need more meals.

Every night, we serve around 25 young people. We cannot do it alone.

Would you consider adopting a meal?

Please join us in praying for youth experiencing homelessness.

God,

We come before You to pray for youth experiencing homelessness. Thank You for each one of them, made intentionally in Your image. Thank You for their unique strengths, talents, and personalities.

We pray that You would bring them comfort, safety, and hope. Place the right people in their lives and work through them to reach the youth who need help.

Please provide clear, safe pathways for them to move onto a better path.

Give the people they encounter soft hearts, full of compassion and ready to help. Helps us to be exactly who they need.

In Jesus’ name we pray,

Amen.
