Women’s Shelter

Helping the Homeless

Interfaith Emergency Services, Women’s Shelter

Yes, right here in Ocala.

Homeless women struggle to find a place to stay and food for their children.

A Women’s Shelter, sponsored by Interfaith Emergency Services, provides a comfortable, safe haven for the residents. They are able to save their money, find a job, and get back on their feet as soon as possible. Food, hygiene products and clothing are offered as needed, as well as daily devotions, classes in budgeting, parenting and other life-skills.
We at Joy Lutheran are gratified to be a part of this. On 29th of each month a team from Joy prepares and serves dinner to the residents. Women and children are genuinely appreciative for this hot meal. And, the groups from Joy find it a most rewarding experience. Detailed instructions are provided when you sign up.

You too can be a part of this program!

Sign up to provide a dinner, and it will touch your heart
