His Hands, His Feet, His Love

OVERVIEW

Inasmuch is a Christian, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since 2007, we have served homeless and struggling people in hopes that they are given the tools and resources to make transformational change in their lives.

It all begins at breakfast where we have served over 300,000 meals since 2007. From there, we provide humanitarian services like showers, laundry, and medical triage. We also provide case management for our Family so that they can be connected to community resources.

From there, we connect men to the Living Hope Program. Our Living Hope Program provides more than just a temporary solution. It offers men the tools to rebuild their lives through:

Trauma recovery to heal from deep wounds.
Spiritual development to nourish their faith.
Life skills to foster independence and stability.

These life-transforming resources empower our Family members to move from survival to sustainable change. This is not about quick fixes. It’s about creating a future filled with hope and dignity!

Hope through Jesus lives here.

OUR MISSION

Inasmuch exists to be the hands and feet of Jesus among the broken, hurting, and homeless by offering relief, recovery, and restoration of hope.

OUR VISION

We see homeless men with multiple life barriers restored and resilient in mind, body, and spirit. We will see these men:

Engaging in supportive communities
Becoming financially independent
Having a generous spirit
Pursuing a relationship with Jesus

RELIEF

Food, shelter, and clothing are essential to rebuilding lives. Every weekday, we invite individuals to join us for breakfast, which serves as the starting point. We assess their needs and connect them with essential resources like healthcare, mental health services, or rehabilitation resources. Our Inasmuch Family - the people we serve - can find a solid foundation to begin their path toward stability and independence.

OUR HISTORY

RECOVERY

Every person who walks through our doors has a story. Their circumstances are unique and their challenges are personal. Beyond helping meet their basic needs, we can offer a path toward recovery. We offer a way forward through the Living Hope Program where personal growth plans can guide personal development toward a desired outcome. We are fortunate to offer trauma-informed mental health services at Inasmuch and collaborate with a network of dedicated community partners who can help overcome barriers.

RESTORATION

We are dedicated to turning broken hearts toward Jesus, the ultimate source of restoration of hope. Through His compassionate miracles, we know that physical needs and deep emotional and spiritual wounds can be healed. We create a nurturing environment where those in need can place their trust in Him and experience the peace found in knowing that no situation is beyond His ability to restore. We want every man in the Living Hope Program to be HEALED.
