Our dream is to have a building where a person may come and get a sense of family. Upon arrival, you will be greeted and ask how may we help you. Are you hungry, we will feed you. Do you need to shower? Come this way, we have fresh towels and really great smelling products. You have no clean clothes and your feet hurt from your shoes. Let's go check out "The Dressing Room." You need a haircut. We've got you covered. There's a beautician/barber here today. You need help finding a place to stay? I got some fine folks who can help you with that. A job?

About us

We are a bunch of volunteers brought together to love and serve our fellow neighbor. We want BCHA to be a place where one feels like just stopping in to say hello, sit a spell or volunteer for awhile. We love seeing people leaving with something they needed or a little treat for someone they love. Some of us may have began as strangers, but we have became a FAMILY HERE. We love one another and we love helping  and serving others.
