Support since 1986.
For 40 years, Rev. Bill Crews and his team have supported people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable circumstances.
What began with serving meals and offering a safe place to sleep in the church has grown into a comprehensive support hub where people can access nutritious meals, health and dental care, crisis support, AOD support groups, children’s education and support programs, and pathways towards stability and connection.
Today, the Rev. Bill Crews Foundation continues to work under the mission of supporting the “person in front of us.”

*Based FY2024-2025 Statistics
From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was met with compassion, not criticism. [The] staff treated me like a human being, not someone who looked broken. My dentist didn’t shame me for the condition of my teeth, instead, he listened & understood, he helped me make a plan on how we can get me looking like me again.
The first visit wasn’t just about fixing holes in my teeth or cleaning away years of neglect, it was how [the dentist] was going to help me smile again without hiding it. I left the clinic lighter than I came in, not just because of what was done or being planned, but because of what it meant.
