Room in the Inn

            St. Luke's has been involved in this program for the homeless for more than 20 years. The program is administered by the Urban Ministry Center, and St. Luke's participates on Sunday nights during December, January, February and March. St. Luke's provides for 12 neighbors, a safe place to sleep, a meal, and an opportunity to shower and to have their laundry done.
