We meet our community right where they are, acknowledging the needs they are bringing and addressing those in the ways we can. This chiefly includes addressing food insecurity and homelessness through our food pantry and resource center. Our day center, Fig Tree, provides showers, laundry, hot meals, computer/internet/printer access, and more. 

We take seriously our call to be a safe community for all people. We offer weekly support groups, a variety of classes, and one of our favorite things to do is share a meal together. On Tuesday nights, you’ll find seniors and young families from our church family sitting at a table with our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Once someone’s most pressing needs are met, we can look at their goals and what support they may need to move forward on their journey. This may include financial assistance and coaching, counseling services, recovery services, tax preparation services, or help securing housing.

While we each have our one life to make the most of, we recognize that the playing field isn’t level. Advocacy at The Connection Center involves partnerships with agencies, organizations, and government programs to create systemic change.
