Our Impact


The Inner Beauty Center has a drop-in center open every Tuesday, and Thursday evenings from 4:00 pm to 7:00.

Women attend the center and are served a nutritious home cooked meal prepared by volunteer cooks. Women visit the Clothing Boutique to choose donated clothing. Personal care items are given and a licensed beautician provides free haircuts a few times a month

Monday, Wednesday Friday between the hours of 3pm and 8pm.  Our street outreach teams offer bags lunches, seasonal items and a harm-reduction resource sheet that includes the Human Trafficking Hot Line number.
