Day Haven

A volunteer mans the Welcome Desk

The Day Haven provides the homeless and very poor with a safe place to be during the day. As a day shelter, the Day Haven offers a living-room like space in which people may play games, read books, or watch television. Furnished with comfortable chairs and couches, this room provides people with a cool space in the summer and a warm space in the winter to get out of the elements. Contact info@tjach.org for more information on the Day Haven.

Thank you!

We are grateful for the dedication and time of our wonderful volunteers! They provide over 900 hours of service every month, teach yoga, lead a drumming circle, find warm mittens for cold guests, and offer a warm smile to all who enter. Thank you!
