A Place of Refuge

Whether providing a warm meal, essential resources, or spiritual guidance, we strive to empower the often overlooked and underserved to embrace the life that God has blessed them with.

Since 1999, Friendship Place has stood as a steadfast refuge for our friends in the Georgetown community. We are a vessel of support, embodying a spirit of compassion and community care deeply rooted in the teachings of Christ.

While our daily meals program has become well-known, Friendship Place’s impact extends far beyond. With the unwavering support of volunteers and donors, we offer a range of services including job training, career guidance, long-term housing assistance, and literacy programming, among others.

Together, we answer the call to share in each other’s struggles, extending a helping hand to our friends whenever and wherever it’s needed.
