Nostoi Community

Our mission is to empower our friends who are unhoused and in housing transition through loving relationships that support transformation, provide resources, restore dignity and bring hope to their lives. We accomplish our mission by creating spaces where you and me become WE. Sharing hospitality, breaking bread, and hearing each other’s stories so that WE can grow together and be a part of God’s redemptive work in our lives.
