Provide a
Second Chance
Give monthly and help someone move from the streets to a place of dignity, healing, and hope.
When you give every month, you provide steady shelter, meals, care, and the hope of a fresh start for neighbors with nowhere else to turn.

Why your donation matters:
Every person who walks through our doors has God-given worth. Your gift helps restore what poverty and homelessness tried to take away: rest, hope, and a future.
You offer more than food or shelter.
You offer the compassion of Christ and help provide:
- A safe place to sleep tonight
- Warm meals and clean clothes
- Spiritual support and prayer
- Education, recovery, and job training
- A path toward long-term transformation
Without donors like you, none of this is possible.
Just as Jesus extended mercy to those in need, we do the same—through your faithful support.
What others have to say
This is one of the best organizations out there to help stop the cycle of homelessness, substance abuse while at the same time saving souls.

Donor
So many of our guests are discouraged and broken when they arrive, but as little as two weeks of love, acceptance, encouragement, and motivation will see them praising God that they were led to the Star of Hope.

Donor
I have never encountered an organization that has a greater compassion for the homeless. They are intentional about rehabilitation, reorientation and exposing people to the love of Christ.
