Welcome

This site is for all of those individuals who ever find themselves in one of their greatest times of need, with no where to go, no where to sleep. When there is no meal to put on the table or when there's not even a table at all. As the author of this site, I am homeless. I have lived from couch to couch, shelter to shelter, park-bench to bridges. So I can understand where you're coming from and what all homelessness entails.

We are a site to provide resources to our friends whom sleep under the stars, unfortunately this website is generally about the Central Iowa area, although we do provide some links to national homelessness websites on our Resources page. Our purpose is to provide you with the resources you may need to get back on your feet; find places to eat; as well as stay warm at possible shelters in the area. We apologize our resources are mainly through Iowa at the moment until our horizons expand across the U.S.
