Programs

Community Breakfast Program

Each Saturday Lisa’s House in collaboration with True Light provides a balanced, nutritious meal for people who are homeless or impoverished. For many of the participants, this may be their only complete meal of the day.

Happy Bottoms Diaper Partnership

Through collaboration with Happy Bottoms and True Light Family Center Lisa’s House is able to provide diapers for infancies and toddlers of low-income or indigent mothers each month.

Lisa’s house provides a safe day shelter for homeless women who would otherwise be on the streets during the hours overnight shelters are closed. Also provides these women a caring community, and essential support including a place to shower and have lunch or a snack, a phone to communicate, clothing, supportive services, and assistance with life-building skills among other supports.

Family Clothes Closet

Quality, seasonal, clothing, and hygiene items are available without cost to meet the needs of women, men, and children. Donations are welcomed Monday through Friday:

Computer Center

Lisa’s House provides access to computers for women to search job sites and complete applications. Volunteers are available to work with/teach those without computer skills.

Giving the Basics Partnership

Through a collaboration with Giving the Basics, Lisa’s House provides low-income people with “personal dignity” items (soap, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, combs, etc.) and home care items (toilet paper, trash bags, laundry soap, Kleenex, etc.). Such items cannot be bought with Food Stamps, and for some people, this is the only income they have. Giving the Basics addresses this critical need. www.givingthebasics.org
