Mission: To address the unmet needs of underserved people in the lewiston-auburn area of maine through collaboration with local, state, and federal organizations, as well as other agencies and churches. We meet these needs through services that include a meals program, food pantry, outreach, a warming center, and refugee assistance.
Programs: The center's soup kitchen serves 80-100 meals per day, six days per week. The food pantry provides healthy food and diapers to 300-350 households per week. The day shelter provides warmth and rest to the homeless. The resource center offers free medical care, phone and internet access, clothing and household goods, and staff support. The refugee integration program helps patrons apply for jobs, find safe housing, and succeed academically.
