I was afraid and broken , with no place to go due to domestic abuse . Spiralling down in my life with alcohol, in the mist of darkness I saw a light and that was the Stephen center. Calling out to me and extending their hands to help me recover . Everyday I feel bless to know I have so many angels I can call friends .
They showed up to pick up my donations; my set of Mizuno golf clubs disappear. No one has seen them!!! Really?
Done with this charity for ever, and if you ever call them, watch them like a hawk.
11/16/08 I entered the Stephen Center Homeless Shelter because I lost my job in July of 08 eventually losing my apartment, I had places I could go although they were not a healthy enviroment for a recovering alcoholic I feared the worse, for some unexplainable reason The Stephen Center was the first number I called on the list of homeless shelter's, every since then I have had the pleasure of a collaboration of good people in my life treating me with respect, kindness & dignity, giving me the strength to believe in myself and become the person I want to be. The Stephen Center saved my life in more ways than one. Thank You Rusytina
I have been an ally and an advocate for the Stephen's Center HERO program for quite some time now. I understand their passion and expertise in what they do and the population they serve whereas they are second to none in the Omaha or Lincoln, NE area. I make referrals to their program regularly and they are always efficient and flexible with the high traffic and case management. Excellent program, great staff, and definitely meeting needs in the community.
In the grips of alcoholism I first came to the Stephen Center Homeless Shelter. I was nursed back to health and guided to apply at the new Hero program. I was admitted in July of 2007 and graduated later that year. I have went on to work for the Stephen Center as Food and Beverage Manager at the John L. Hoich Center for Recovery (Hero Program)I like many other people I know have seen been given a second chance in life much in part to the help given to me through the Stephen Center
I have been involved with the Stephen Center for approximately 2 years and I am courrently on the board of directors. I have all the employees at the Stephen Center and have been extremely impressed their abilities, their character and their commitment to helping people. The people who work and volunteer at the Center are it's real strenght. I have also work with the Stephen Center in the anaylsis, planning and implementation of their Trift Store and have found their work ethic to be outstanding. I look forward to working with the Stephen Center to help improve or hopefully build a new emergency shelter for the homeless.
