Christ-Centered & Faith-Led
Our work is grounded in Christian faith and led by prayer, compassion, and service. We believe in meeting people where they are and extending the same grace, dignity, and love that Christ shows to each of us.
True Friends
We believe real change happens through genuine connection. By understanding each neighbor’s unique story, we walk alongside them with meals, housing support, education, mentorship, and crisis care.
Community Powered
More than 80% of our work is made possible by friends, donors, volunteers, and partners who believe no one should face hardship alone. Together, we show up with when neighbors need it most.

Neighbor Testimony:
How Friendship and Faith Helped "Brick" Find Hope Again
When Brick first came to Friendship Place, he was facing homelessness and uncertainty about his future. With the support of our programs and the encouragement of caring friends, he found not only the resources he needed, but also dignity, stability, and hope.
Today, Brick’s journey reminds us that with compassion and community, transformation is always possible.

Georgetown EATS
Many neighbors are unsure where their next meal will come from.
We serve hot, chef-prepared lunches Monday through Friday and offer pantry support to help stretch household food resources.

Georgetown LEARNS
Breaking the cycle of poverty and illiteracy in our communities
Friendship Place offers children and teens a supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and feel valued. Through tutoring, mentorship, and after-school engagement, we equip young people with the skills and encouragement they need to break cycles of hardship and build brighter futures.

Georgetown PRAYS
Prayer for every step of the journey
In seasons of hardship, many neighbors need more than resources...they need hope. Georgetown PRAYS surrounds our neighbors, staff, and volunteers with Bible-based spiritual care, reminding each person that they are seen, supported, and never alone.
Great asset to the community!
The lives that have been positively impacted by Friendship Place is impossible to measure. Thank you for providing a
path for second chances.

We learn our neighbors and who they are and how we can better assist them with their various needs.
It’s truly an honor to serve as the executive director of Friendship Place, following in the footsteps of my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents who dedicated themselves to helping others in this very same community. Every day, I witness the impact Friendship Place has as neighbors walk away feeling empowered and valued. With your continued support, I’m excited about the progress we’ll achieve together in enriching the well-being of Georgetown.
