Night Ministry:

The Night Ministry was created out of diverse religious traditions to build relationships with vulnerable youth and adults on the nighttime streets. Through these relationships and the provision of housing, health, outreach, spiritual, and social services, the organization seeks to empower people of all ages to meet their own needs. Recognizing the uniqueness, dignity, and value of each person, the Night Ministry accepts individuals as they are, in an affirming and compassionate manner. The Night Ministry is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-denominational organization serving youth and adults in need - regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or social status. Those served include homeless youth and adults, uninsured/underinsured individuals seeking medical assistance, working poor adults, the chronically lonely, children who need a safe place to gather, and others in need.
