The Outreach Center

10/13/2026

A new chapter is beginning, and we are incredibly grateful for what’s ahead. 💙

Acadiana Outreach Center and The Well are coming together as one organization, bringing two ministries with a shared heart for serving our community under one mission.

By joining together, we have an opportunity to build on the work both organizations have been doing for years—combining our strengths, expanding our reach, and finding even more ways to walk alongside people experiencing homelessness and poverty throughout Acadiana.

We’re thankful for everyone who has supported, served, prayed, volunteered, and believed in these ministries along the way. We don’t take lightly the opportunity to carry this work forward, and we’re excited to see what God has in store for this next chapter.

Two ministries. One shared heart. And so much more to come.

Meeting people where they are is at the heart of what we do. 💙

Our Outreach Specialist, Will, spent time at the park completing an initial assessment with a new client—listening, learning about their needs, and beginning the process of connecting them with the right resources and support.

Sometimes the first step forward simply starts with a conversation.

The wait is over, and we are so excited to finally share this news with you!

Acadiana Outreach Center and The Hub Lafayette are merging! 💙

For years, our two ministries have served people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Acadiana in different but complementary ways. The Hub has built a place of community, connection, and practical support, while Acadiana Outreach Center has provided shelter, housing, and outreach services to individuals and families.

Now, we have the opportunity to bring those strengths together under one organization, and we could not be more grateful.

We are thankful for the vision, leadership, and years of faithful service that have brought The Hub to this moment. It is an honor to help carry that vision forward, build on the relationships already established, and continue serving our neighbors with the love of Jesus.

And with this new chapter comes a new name for The Hub Lafayette: THE WELL.

For now, you’ll see The Well and Acadiana Outreach Center working together as one organization. In the future, we’ll bring everything together under one shared identity.

There is so much to look forward to, but what matters most remains the same: showing up for people, meeting practical needs, building relationships, and sharing the hope of Jesus Christ.

To everyone who has supported either ministry over the years, thank you. Your generosity, prayers, and belief in this work have helped bring us here. We are excited for what God has ahead and grateful to carry this vision forward together.

Two ministries. One shared heart. A new chapter for Acadiana.

Welcome to THE WELL. 💙

Sometimes support looks like simply having someone by your side. 💙

Our case manager, Candis, was out helping one of our Rapid Rehousing clients take care of some important business and move one step closer to stability.

It’s these everyday moments that make a difference—showing up, working through the details, and helping our clients keep moving forward. ✨

👟💙 We are so thankful for Marcela Carmichael of Carmichael’s Honey, LLC for her generous donation that helped provide new school shoes for all of our kids!

Starting a new school year with a fresh pair of shoes may seem like a small thing, but it can mean so much to a child. Thank you, Marcela, for caring for our kids and helping them step into the school year feeling confident and ready. 📚✨
We’re so grateful for people in our community who continue to show up for the families we serve!

A heartfelt thank you to Gulf Coast Bank and Baskin-Robbins for bringing so much joy to our shelter children this past weekend with a wonderful Ice Cream Social as part of our Summer Smiles program! There were plenty of happy faces, sweet treats, and wonderful memories made—and we are so grateful for the kindness and generosity that made it possible. 💕🍨
We would also like to extend a very special thank you to Gulf Coast Bank for their generous donation to help us provide school clothing and school supplies for the children we serve. Your support will make a meaningful difference as they head into a new school year.
