Mission: Feeding the homeless since 1982, The Rock at Noonday is the cornerstone of care for the homeless and hungry. We hope that one day, no person will be hungry, lacking shelter, or without basic provisions. Until that day comes, we will help God’s homeless children through nourishing meals, spiritual guidance and other essential services that help promote self-sufficiency, dignity and independence. The Rock at NoonDay offers a small corner of peace and a promise to fill a void with nutrition, compassion and hope. The Rock provides biblical hospitality for the hungry, homeless and hurting.

The minute I walked in the door I knew, 'The Rock at NoonDay,' was a special place! As a volunteer for the past two years in the facility's clothing distribution room, I have witnessed the many services that are provided by the 'Rock.' It is not just the services, but the compassion in how they are delivered. In my interaction with the client's that use the facility, they have shared that 'The Rock' provides them a temporary home that they don't have currently. They can take a shower, get their cloths washed and have a warm meal, all in a clean safe environment. Thank you for being such a stabilizing force in our community!
