WHO WE HELP

We help people who are hungry, and those who are facing homelessness.

The Hungry

We feed about 1,000 people every year, including over 124,000 meals and 750,000 pounds of groceries for self-preparation

Kids

Each year we shelter and feed approximately 270 children. Our Center For Homeless Children and Their Families provides safe care, tutoring and assessment for children, while their parents work to attain housing, income and sobriety.

At the core of our family programs is our Residential Parenting Education, including Kids First, counseling and case management. Our emphasis is always on putting children’s welfare first.

Families

COTS serves families through our Center for Homeless Children and Their Families and our Shared and Transitional Housing. We teach budgeting, life skills and parenting classes, and we provide case management and counseling to prepare families for a home of their own.

Adults

COTS serves approximately 800 single adults each year through the Mary Isaak Center. Rent Right and Work Right teach work and life skills (including budgeting). These, together with our internship programs, case management and counseling, prepare people for a home of their own.
