Community Outreach
While many in our community do not need shelter and recovery, they do sometimes need a place to turn for help. Our goal is to reach out to these individuals and families with assistance and encouragement to stabilize their lives before they fall through the cracks.
Food: We provide three meals a day in our dining hall for our residents, opening our doors also to the homeless and impoverished community. A hot, nourishing meal-served with Christ's love and compassion-will help satisfy their physical and spiritual hunger. We also distribute grocery boxes to qualifying low-income individuals and families. Each box contains enough food for several meals.
Clothing: Our Community Outreach Center offers free clothing to qualifying men, women and children in need. Medical Center: In partnership with Christ Health Center, The Foundry Medical Center offers comprehensive pharmacy services and free health-care services for our residents.
Medical Center: Because many others in our community cannot afford health insurance or the high cost of medical care, we also provide health-care services for the working poor at a flat fee of $25. Staffed by a full-time doctor and nurse, our traditional family practice cares for minor and chronic illnesses that might otherwise go untreated.
Holiday Celebrations: The Foundry provides an atmosphere of hope and love during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter seasons. We celebrate each of these holidays by hosting a traditional feast complete with turkey, dressing and all the trimmings. During Thanksgiving, families seeking grocery assistance receive extra food items to make a special holiday dinner in their own homes. We also provide gifts at Christmas for our residents, their children and little ones from the community to let them know they are loved.
