Hospitality

Hospitality Services is the oldest and probably most well known of the services offered at Camillus House. Its primary purpose is to ensure that each client’s basic human needs for food, clothing, and overnight shelter are met. Since a person who is hungry, or cold, or sleeping on the street cannot begin to address the larger issues that prevent them from leading a fulfilling life, Hospitality Services focuses on providing the immediate care they need.

Hospitality encompasses two primary program areas: Direct Care Ministry, which includes overnight shelter, showers, clothing exchange, mail services, telephone usage, public restrooms, and basic referrals and information; and Food Services. Hospitality serves as an essential entry point into the full continuum of care services offered by Camillus, as many clients who initially visit in search of basic services decide to access the other programs available.
