It is almost Gala time again! Come to the
Guadalupe Gala
June 28th at 6:30pm
Holy Cross Church 5510 North 44th Street
No tickets necessary, free will donation at the door.
At Guadalupe House, we provide clean and sober transitional housing for single adults on an interview and invitation basis. We also offer that people in need can come take a shower, use the phone, and pick up mail on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are committed to serving the immediate needs of our neighborhood and city, creating a welcoming place for those in need, and working toward a more just community.
We are here to walk with our guests toward stabilized lives and to advocate for social justice and peace. Along the way we support urban organic gardening, wrestlemania (ask Peter), giant puppetry & stilt-walking, homemade music, and prayer.
Are you at a point in your life to consider volunteering short-term or long-term with us, doing Works of Mercy and Works of Justice?
We would like to hear from you if you're interested in such an opportunity at Guadalupe House-- a life-giving and life-changing experience!
