Who are we? Our Place Community Ministries started in 1987, when a group of area churches were so besieged with urgent requests for food and other necessities they decided to combine their resources through one Center. We provide emergency services of food, hygiene products, clothing, household necessities, bus tokens and utility assistance for free. We have an on-site laundry center, also free of charge. Our Place teaches classes to help clients find long-term solutions to their poverty and move toward self-sufficiency. This resource guide is designed to help you find other resources that we may not offer at Our Place, but we are partnered with. You will find everything from employment services to emergency housing in this guide. What are you looking for?
