Your path to a new start begins at Latrobe Street Mission.
We offer emergency shelter services, sober-living facilities, and services for homeless men, women, and children in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
Homelessness doesn’t define you. You’re capable of success, and we’ll help you achieve it - one day at a time.
By providing core services and collaborating with area providers already in place, Latrobe Street Mission equips the homeless to move from survival to success.
Do you know what homelessness looks like in the Mid-Ohio Valley?
At Latrobe Street Mission, it looks like a mom and a baby who fell on hard times and found themselves on the streets. Or a family that just a few months ago had what others deemed "a good life." It looks like a veteran who got lost in the system and had nowhere else to go.
Here at Latrobe Street Mission, one thing is constant - the ever-changing face of homelessness.
Men, women, children, families....old, young, retired, unemployed, veterans...they are all people with a story and set of circumstances that just might surprise you as you discover that you have more in common than you think.
Our residents are equipped to address the circumstances behind their crisis and guided as they seek resources to address their unique situation. When core services are delivered by passionate staff and volunteers, residents begin to experience life change.
With the help of our community and those who are willing to extend the hands and feet of Christ to show them a better way, we are changing lives every day. Will you join us in this work?
Our Core Services
Emergency Homeless Shelter
The Emergency Shelter fulfills immediate basic needs (food, shelter, clothing), connects individuals with available resources, and guides them toward experiencing freedom and self-sufficiency. Shelter services are available to men, women, and children. Separate, secure areas separate men from women and children.
The Key Sober Living Facility
The Key is a concept in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. We are a democratically run, self-supporting, and drug-free residence.
The Key represents a remarkably effective and low-cost method of preventing relapse. Our newly renovated facility houses over 30 male residents.
Organize a used clothing drive
at your church or business!
We are always accepting donations of clothing, shoes, blankets, twin sized sheets, pillows, towels, and washcloths. We use those every day of the year and we hand out no only to those who stay at the Mission, but we give to anyone that comes in needing any of those items. We also share our resources with other agencies in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
You can drop off donations anytime from 6am to 10pm, 7 days a week at our front desk or in the donation bin located outside of our building.
If there is a large quantity of clothing, we can send our truck to pick up at your location. We accept all kinds of used clothing, even if it is stained or torn due to our recycling program that helps to generate funds that are then put back into the needs of our Mission. It is a blessing either way the clothing gets to be used!
By participating in this program, you can make a meaningful contribution to Latrobe Street Mission's efforts to support vulnerable, homeless individuals and families in the community. Additionally, you can help reduce waste and promote sustainable practices by recycling clothes.
