Day Room

Resurrection House’s day room is a safe respite where people who are experiencing homelessness can get needed resources and hope, all in a faith-based setting that is caring and compassionate.

Our day room proves a comfortable common gathering area with tables and chairs, where clients can obtain resources in a dignified manner.

An average of 80 – 100 clients make use of the day room. Core services offered include restrooms, hot showers, access to hygiene, laundry facilities staffed by volunteers, clothes closet to obtain fresh clothes and shoes, breakfast and lunch, medical clinic, barbers, and client advisory specialists to help the homeless individual move towards a path of self-sufficiency.

The day room is open Monday – Friday from 8:30am – 1:30pm.

Chaplains and Chapel

Our interfaith chapel offers a quiet space for prayer and reflection, while volunteer chaplains provide spiritual support for anyone who seeks it.

Community Care Court

In partnership with Sarasota agencies, we host Community Care Court—giving clients the chance to resolve minor legal issues in a supportive environment.

Barbers

Volunteer barbers are available a couple of times each month to cut our client hair and provide grooming that helps the client rebuild their dignity.

Identification is often a barrier to progress. We help clients obtain or replace IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates—opening doors to employment, benefits, and housing. Use of a mailing address is also available.

All services provided to the homeless at Resurrection House are free and supported entirely by the generosity of individuals, churches, businesses, and community partners.
