JOURNEYS | The Road Home
and COVID-19

COVID-19 has disrupted our everyday lives, and at JOURNEYS, it is no different. We have implemented our own response plan to keep our clients, volunteers, and staff members safe and healthy at the HOPE Center and at all of our PADS Shelter locations hosted by our faith partners.  

We are committed to serving the members of our community who have no home where they can withdraw away from possible infection and at the same time have increasingly fewer public places in which to go.
