OUR VISION

THE SFS VISION
Our vision is to completely transform the lives of our homeless and less fortunate neighbors. We will accomplish this with short-term goals including, but not limited to, providing them with a temporary place to come where they can be served food, toiletries, clean clothing, do laundry, and take showers. Our long-term goals include purchasing or building a center where we can host a regular soup kitchen, allow the homeless to shower, as well as a potential venue for regular group meetings for addicts such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Gamblers Anonymous. We would focus on providing access to local programs such as CARP and Faith Farms, which can assist them in re-entering society free of addictions with dignity, confidence, the skills they will need. Most of all, we want to establish a center where we can give them love and treat them like human beings, not like animals living on the street. We want to build a community where volunteers can come and share their love, energy, and life experiences with our homeless and less fortunate neighbors. 

We also want to use the center to educate people on how serious the homeless problem is, what we can do to help them, and how this can happen to anyone. Homeless people each have a story and deserve love, compassion, and empathy. The vast majority of them have addictions and/or mental illnesses that have resulted in their present situation. With love, support, and a deep desire on their part to make a full recovery from alcohol and/or drug addictions, we can help them rediscover a healthy and dignified life. 

Once a center is purchases or built, we will have a permanent location where our homeless friends can come to take a shower, get a set of clean clothes, eat a warm meal, hydrate with some clean water, and receive assistance with coordinating their medical needs, bus passes, recovery groups, etc.
