While I don't have power they showed me asking for help when I need it is not a bad thing. I would get so frustrated with not having, I started operating from a place of lack. be okay with their no. I will take genuine care and support like the BVOA shows anyday. I'm accepting it.

I am so grateful for this place, it's staff and volunteers. They gave me a place to rest my head,a warm dinner, coffee and breakfast in the morning. You can do your laundry and shower on alternate days and sign up for those services four days a week. No electronics upstairs unless you are in the Abundant Life program. I'm back up north now with stable housing and I even got a job as a shelter monitor while I'm pursuing my business as an end of life Doula. The staff is great and I miss them. Jason can be a hard a** but he's that way for a reason and I respect him for that. David, John and Matt are the best. I'm so glad I met these folks on my life's journey.

Would rate 0. Really makes the greenway dangerous with all of the vagrants loitering and littering. They also like to lite fires on county infrastructure. No wonder our property taxes are so high!

I was impressed by the level of quality care and passion this mission has for those in need. They accept donations and work diligently to distribute all donations. Amazing people working together to make a difference in the lives of their fellow man. Impressive and awe-inspiring.

The only bad thing about this place is the fellow residents who force the place to change rules or make them them stricter. One rotten apple and all. The staff are incredible with the exception of one, the night shift one. But it is an oasis of sorts and should be recommended highly.

Each time I go there, I feel like I’m not doing enough to help others in need. Volunteering as driver picking up many people to go to Church. The owner is doing a great jobs, “putting roof on top” of the needy. From stories heard, it’s safe, clean and very well maintained and regulated.

This shelter is top notch. My experience with my temporary homelessness was made less stressful. Be aware, the conditions are somewhat strict If you're used to doing what you Want. The breakfasts vary. There is cereal coffee etc. Sometimes there are biscuits with meat in them. Bed time is 10pm.No exceptions.No electronics upstairs. No exceptions. You to call in by 4 to reserve a bed. There is a queue. Keep going if they tell the queue it's full. Don't hang up keep trying. There are laudt

Friendly, warm, comfortable, hard to get in to. You have to start calling them at 15:59 every afternoon until the line starts to ring and someone answers. Just say your name and they will tell you if you are in for the night. If you have a partner, you say yours and their name.
