Be a part of a week you won't forget with our North Shore families in need. We are one of many local churches that open our doors 4x a year to homeless families. We provide a safe and warm room to sleep in, warm meals prepared with love, conversation and peace of mind for our North Shore neighbors in transition looking for housing and jobs, while staying together as a family. Here are dates for 2020;
