Our Impact
A number of people have come to us saying they are on `suicide watch`; or told us they had taken care of their affairs because they could no longer manage life, at just the right moment they found the Fountain and purpose in life once again . . . someone cared for them.
Because of our advocacy many people have told us they were ‘heard for the first time.’ Also, individuals in agencies or other work places have thanked us for coming alongside individuals.

Our Services
The services at the Fountain are designed to be approachable for anyone in the community. They give people a warm environment to relax and socialize as well as offering affordable clothing, food, and support.
The Activity Room
Is buzzing with happy chatter and laughter among people who now call each other friends. Volunteers offer wonderful craft ideas using materials mostly donated from the community.
The Community Kitchen
Offers space and an opportunity for volunteers who are creative and love to cook. Nutritious soup and appetizers are made from whatever groceries may have been donated or purchased and are served three days a week in the Café.
Thrift Boutique
All items in our Thrift Boutique have been donated by people in the community and are offered for sale at nominal pricing which allows us to provide for the community.
The Café
Is a warm, vibrant place where volunteers serve tasty, homemade soup, buns, yummy desserts, veggies, and fruit. Coffee and tea are available at any time. A number of our visitors tell us this is often the only good meal they have in a day.

November 2015
The Fountain clothes and feeds the body, but it also warms and nourishes the mind and spirit. Deep and lasting friendships – among people who may have suffered isolation for years on end – are created.
