INTERFAITH HOSPITALITY
Lewis Chapel is a part of a network of churches that serve as ‘Hosts Congregations” that provide shelter for persons that have become homeless for whatever reason. As a Host Congregation, LC hosts families overnight, a week at a time, approximately four times per year. We provide a buffet style dinner, breakfast and a packed lunch to go. Volunteers create and organize activities for the children, extend a listening ear to the parents, and very often furnish referrals to employment, direct assistance with household furnishings, basic need items, and the list goes on.
