Winter Safe Haven, 2024-25 season
Four Programs. One journey. And the bridge
Our programs aren’t separate services. They’re one continuous path, meeting our neighbors where they are, and walking with them toward stability.
Dignity on Wheels
Hot showers, hygiene, and human connection delivered by mobile trailer to neighbors across St. Louis, April through November.
Community Fellowship (ComFe)
Saturdays at the Outreach Center meals, supplies, bus tickets, ID help, and a welcome that takes its time.
Winter Safe Haven
When winter turns dangerous (25°F and below), hotel partnerships keep unhoused families with children warm, safe, and together.
Discipleship
Spiritual and pastoral care, walked alongside, never required, always voluntary, offered in three settings.
And when a neighbor moves into a home of their own, our Welcome Home crew helps furnish it — the bridge from our programs to lasting stability.
In loving memory of Ray Hartmann.
We Alone Can Fix This_Ray Hartmann
For more than a year, I’ve had a first-hand education in the homelessness crisis in St. Louis through my fundraising work for a nonprofit called InExcelsis. It’s only one of many good organizations working on this crisis, and any of them is worth your support.
On Saturday mornings, InExcelsis hosts a weekly gathering at One Family Church in the city. I’ve helped serve food there on occasion—nowhere near as often as the volunteers who show up every week without fail. But something happens nearly every time I do. One of our guests looks up and asks if I’m that guy from Channel 9. From Donnybrook.
Every time, my heart sinks a little.
Not because they recognized me. Because of what the question means. This person—living outside, without a shower, without a change of clothes—used to have a roof over their head, a couch to sit on and a television to watch. They had evenings. They had opinions about what we were yakking about.
They were us. They are us.
Every Saturday is built by people who chose to show up.
Volunteer your Saturday. Become a monthly sustainer. Or send the supplies that fill the trailer. Every path matters.
