Transforming Lives, Restoring Hope
Dégagé Ministries offers help and hope to homeless and disadvantaged individuals in our community.
Responsive programming is designed to address immediate and long-term needs such as overnight respite for women in crisis, food, referral services and hygiene facilities. Dégagé’s goal is to assure that every man and woman who we serve knows that he/she is not alone. Many hardships exist in life and none of us are exempt from them. For those 400-500 individuals we serve daily at Dégagé, many of whom are homeless and low-income, the hardships can be overwhelming—loss of shelter, loss of employment, loss of a loved one, loss of control and loss of opportunity. And with these hardships, they lose much more. Many feel unworthy and hopeless, especially after society has looked down upon them or they have been rejected after repeatedly trying to move forward on their own.
Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed,
for he shares his bread with the poor.
Proverbs 22:9
While many of our services may seem “simple,”
those who receive our services take nothing for granted.
Often, it is the simplest of gestures that brings the most powerful results.
What sets Dégagé apart from other organizations is the attention given to each individual and each success.
