Getting Help
How can I access your services?
Whether you need immediate shelter or are on the brink of homelessness, we’re here and ready to help. The Day Center provides a variety of services, including shelter, meals and showers to help you get back on your feet. If you need case management services, call us at 918-583-5588 and ask for a case management screening.
How can you help me overcome homelessness?
Our case managers work closely with you to help address the issues keeping you from achieving your goals. We have many resources to put you back on a path of independence and want you to feel empowered to overcome homelessness.

Our doors are open to all who need help or support.

Giving Help

We are always in need of volunteers with a wide range of skill levels, including RNs to help in our clinic, civic groups and congregations to serve meals, and individuals to assist in our clothing room.

A food handler permit is recommended but not required.
