Essential Services

Community members have access to the Main Street location of the Christian Outreach Center Monday-Thursday 8 AM - 3 PM and Friday 8 AM - 12 PM, no appointment necessary. Upon arrival, clients are greeted by our staff and given the opportunity to ask for and receive anything they need, subject to availability.

Beyond the physical needs of our clients, we minister to their spiritual needs by offering weekly bible studies and ample prayer as we walk with them in their journey, hand-in-hand.

Offering these services helps to alleviate barriers to earning gainful employment across the entire spectrum of need, from immediate assistance all the way to self-sufficiency.

  • Clothing
