Where is our office?
We are located directly across the street from the Ware County Courthouse at 115 Albany Avenue, Waycross, GA 31501. Our mailing address is PO Box 2088, Waycross, GA 31502.
Who can receive our services?
We serve any individual or family who is homeless, or in danger of becoming homeless. We also provide some services to individuals who may have a home, but are without food, water, or electricity during a period of time. Additionally, persons seeking assistance with recovery from substance use disorder or overdose prevention or harm reduction supplies can receive our services.
Do you only serve Waycross?
No. We officially serve Ware, Brantley, and Pierce Counties, but we will not turn anyone away. While or services may be limited when dealing with a client outside of those counties; we try our best to get everyone to the right assistance each time they call for help.
How does your meal train work?
Community members and organizations use our Meal Train to sign up to provide a meal for our 50-55 clients who are unhoused or do not have access to a way to store or cook food. If you’d like more information or want to provide a meal, visit our Meal Train.
Do we utilize volunteers?
How do you send a person or family to OATH for assistance?
Persons needing assistance are encouraged to call our office and schedule an appointment.
Do we accept clothing donations?
We have a very specific set of guidelines when taking clothing. Reach out to the office for more information.
What kind of assistance can you offer to persons experiencing homelessness?
At this time, our funding is limited, so rarely are we able to provide the total amount needed to move into a home. In some cases, we are able to assist with partial payments, and we work closely with other churches and organizations who can assist financially. The answer to this question is never “no.”
Is there really a homeless population in our region?
Yes! There are several individuals and families that live in areas around the watersheds of the river throughout Brantley, Pierce and Ware counties.
What can someone do to help?
As our clients needs change throughout the year, the best way to help is to give our office a call and ask! As a 501(c)(3) non profit organization, your gifts are tax deductible and greatly appreciated.
What recovery resources do you offer?
Our staff are peers with lived experience with substance use disorder who are living in recovery. We can provide connection to treatment, recovery coaching, and support meetings. Visit our Recovery resources page for more information and meeting schedules or call our office.
