🏠 Homelessness: Offering Shelter and Stability
At Providence Ministries, we believe no one should face the night alone. That’s why we provide safe, clean, and supportive shelter for men, women, and families experiencing homelessness. More than just a bed, our housing programs offer structure, accountability, and care—helping individuals take the next step toward long-term stability and restoration. Whether it's emergency shelter or transitional housing, we are here to meet people where they are and help them move forward.

🍽️ Hunger: Feeding the Body and the Soul
Hunger doesn’t wait, and neither do we. Every day, we serve free, hot meals to anyone in need—no questions asked. Our community dining ministry offers physical nourishment and the comfort of a welcoming environment. Volunteers and staff share more than just food—they offer encouragement, prayer, and the love of Christ with every plate. For many, this simple act of kindness is the first step toward deeper healing and connection.

Addiction: Restoring Lives Through Faith-Based Recovery
Addiction leaves people feeling broken and hopeless—but there is a path to freedom. Our Christ-centered residential recovery programs for men and women provide a safe place to heal, grow, and rebuild. With daily structure, Biblical counseling, life-skills training, and community support, participants discover new life and lasting change. We believe in the power of God to restore what addiction has stolen—and we’ve seen it happen, time and time again.
