Dorcas’ way Resource Center

This resource center came about when the owner of Dorcas’ way came up close and personal with homeless individuals who live in the woods and on the street. Not having a clear picture of how they are going to fortify their next meal or living situation. This breaks one heart to look into someone’s eyes and see them screaming out for help. Not for just basic necessities help, but mental health help as well.

Seeking a way out of no way. Some of these individuals do not know how to even find a job and keep it, because they have lost all their drive for life itself. Life seems so hard for them to push forward. Many of them drown themselves in drugs because that is what helps them to forget about their circumstances. And that is why Dorcas’ way took it upon themselves to create a way out so that each individual can feel that they are not disposable, there is always hope …

The Dorcas’ way resource center PHASE 1 will provide an array of programs that will get individuals excited about life. We will introduce
