"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a sojourner and you welcomed me" Matthew 25:35

The last year has flown by! So much work has been done since the first sledge hammer was thrown on June 10, 2011. Sojourner House opened November 1, 2011 and has provided over 5,000 night stays to the homeless of the Eau Claire Area Community in the first six months. Thanks to all who help make this a reality and all those who continue to do God's work by serving others!

 

We are called to be servants to the Lord, to serve the people of God.  “Love one another as I have loved you” (Jn 15:12).  Our calling is not to pick and choose whom we’ll serve – man or woman, those who look like us, believe as we believe – but rather to serve all God’s people with dignity and respect.  That service can be transforming, life-giving, even redemptive. Jesus encountered so many diverse personalities and needs, and delved deeply into human relationships.  So too, we try to open our hearts and hands to the many lives that we encounter who are challenged by daily life.  Sometimes we’re heartbroken, but most often we’re witnesses to the stone that has been rolled back and the fullness discovered in the empty tomb.  The empty tomb is an affirmation by God of this very world; a world of new life that has been transformed and opened to us by the love of Christ.  His life, His love is in our hearts and each time we compassionately reach out to another we witness the Risen Christ.  - Deacon Richard Sage

The Sojourner House opened its doors on November 1, 2011. We are a haven for single adult men and women, offering a safe, clean place, regardless of what their ambitions or hopes are, to sleep overnight; shower, clean their clothing, and have breakfast while ensuring our guest's personal dignity, respect and safety.

The Sojourner House is open year round from 7 PM in the evening to 7 am in the morning. We can provide sleep arrangements for up to 30 men and 8 women. In order to receive sleeping facilities, laundry and shower privledges, guests must have a 0.0 alcohol level. However we also have space for up to 4 additional guests in a special recliner facility, helping these guests to get in out of the elements into a safe environment. Everyone is accepted into the shelter unless they are presenting with unruly or boisterous behavior. A safe environment will be maintained. No substances or weapons will be permitted on the premises. A core staff is employed by Catholic Charities, with a large supplement of volunteers for support! This is a first come-first serve basis. All are welcome!
