3 Phases of Serving the Homeless in Baton Rouge
1. Life Touch – We help the local homeless community with first-level needs, such as: clothing, food bags, hygiene kits and bus passes for work/medical needs.
2. Life Coaching – Our team develops relationships with our clients through one-on-one meetings and through our programs: Jobs For Life, Faith and Finance, Bible Study & Breakfast, Life Skills, Celebrate Recovery and COTES (Christian Outreach Transitional Employment Services).
3. Life Transformation – This is an 18-month commitment, during which our clients first enroll in Jobs For Life, and then in Faith and Finance. During this time period, these individuals commit to a mentor relationship in order to help overcome barriers and achieve their goals. After completing Faith and Finance, they’re eligible for our matched savings program, where their savings will be matched dollar for dollar to put toward an asset such as a car, housing or education.
We truly believe in our programs here at the Christian Outreach Center. Please help us impact our city by donating.
Your 2016 donations are tax deductible, and will greatly impact our 2017 success.
