Our Place of Wellspring

Our Place of Wellspring is a program designed to support homeless and transient teens and young adults, ages 16-21.

We are open each Wednesday from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm offering a hot meal, a place to wash clothes, make phone calls, access a computer, take a shower and relax using our recreational and educational resources.

Our plans also include connecting the youth to other appropriate social service agencies and the development of a mentoring program to link the youth with caring community volunteers (advocates) who will offer support in transitioning to self-sufficiency and a more stable and directed life.

We have developed an Advisory Committee to support this much needed community program.  These members include:
