For the past 15 years, the Room in the Inn project has welcomed unhoused individuals throughout or city and the surrounding area into various celebratory settings. This year, we invite you to help us celebrate the gift of relationship with our friends, both newly sheltered and still unhoused - as guests of one of our shelter sites, safe parking program, or through our outreach teams across the city. We desire our guests to be seen, loved, and celebrated in a new way this Holiday Season!
​
Last year Room in the Inn 2025 pulled together 27 different churches, more than 250 partner sponsors, 200 volunteers, and served just over 400 individuals. This year we hope to serve at least 500 people through the month of December at each of our sites to celebrate the incarnation of Jesus together by offering much needed items, warm meals, and gathered time together at shared tables.
​
Can you help?
Pray!
As our unsheltered friends continue to face the challenges of life on the street, this year has been a pivotal time of transition and readiness for many who seek hope, healing, and housing. Please join us to pray for blessings upon each one that we will reach out to in the coming months.
