Breakthrough Urban Ministries Reviews

I've frequented this place for multiple years; a great familial, social environment; nevertheless 'RESOURCEFUL'.

hey, I would just like to post my recent experience at breakthrough. I went to the pantry to get food after recently having a fire. I needed food to feed my family they told me I got ould not receitfood because I had no ID with a address in their area code. I was hurt and hungry. I spoke with a lady name Valerie, she was in charge, I just want ro thank her for making it possible for my family and I to get food to eat. Had it not been for her my grand kids and I would have been hungry, so again thank you Valerie for hearing me out and making it possible in spite of the rules, the exception was greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work and continue to work with your heart. God will bless you. Thanks again Audrey Geddis.

Great people to work with for an excellent cause!
Always looking forward to visit and serve every month.
Thanks for making a change in the community!

I believe this place to be a safe haven for women & men in need. I work for a facility that eventually has to transition the clients out of the program. This facility is one of many that we introduce to the clients as an option for next level care. Few clients have express to me that this place helps them in more ways than one.

The service is not good for serving the homeless many turned away.

I have only visited the cafe located in Breakthrough but it was awesome and I thought I should share my experience with the world. Everything on their menu is pretty cheap and the food was fresh!

I recommend this place for all women from ages 17 to 70 that is homeless to come here, they have a great support system and housing leads are excellent. So if anyone knows anyone n need of shelter THIS IS IT!

They have great resource' s and they were very helpful plus you can use the computers.

I've never experienced any problems from breakthrough they've been very helpful go out my life.

Cool place to start over AND they'll help if they see you're serious about helping yourself. Like anyone else

I went to start my Gym membership.... but because it was e o m .. (didn't)

Spectacular coffee, brand new building and one of the most loving ministries around.
Go to The Bridge Cafe!

Everything said and done is a excuse for the wrong people and reasons

I volunteered here through my employer Pangea Real Estate with our Pangea Cares initiative. This was my second time here and I enjoyed talking with the residents and serving and preparing a meal for them.

Beautiful space for men and women who are overcoming hardships in life. The residents are humble and filled with love to share to anyone who comes through the door.

Great place to serve, we do lunch with folks from The Way Christian Ministries on 4th Saturday

With four buildings, this non-profit focuses intentionally on meeting the needs of the residents in East Garfield park. The services are still available for everyone, as the support centers in the men and women shelters are popular destinations for the homeless. Breakthrough is able to serve all ages from preschoolers in their fulltime child care program, to seniors with a fresh market to supplement grocery bills. Breakthrough partners with Lawndale Christian health Center to provide medical services on-site.

They provide services for females who are trying to get themselves together

So happy to support this fabulous organization in our community!

Antonio is the biggest liar. Don't trust him. He helps no one that comes for help. A fraud, this place

Volunteered there a great place to help serve the community.

This is a really great place. A dear friend had decided to collect clothes for women in need suitable for both the (then upcoming) holidays and job interviews as part of a Landmark course. She wanted to find just the right shelter so she could help the most people.

After talking to several places she found Breakthrough. They said they'd love such a donation and invited her to come down and see what they did there. We were both very impressed with what we saw. They appear to be doing a great job not only in providing shelter to women in need, but in helping those women find a way to help themselves through education and work-training.

This is a great place for helping women who are in need,thanks breakthrough.

Back in 2015 i lived there.And today im a volunteer and their cleaning service lady.

Meeting the needs of the poor in the community and much more. Sharing the Love of God

All I wanted to do was take a shower and leave yet they used a "capacity" excuse for not allowing me to do so

If I take a shower and leave the capacity would remain the same!!

A place that really helps those in need. They have a men's center at 402 n St. Luis as well. Provide shelter, assistance with housing applications, and have a day center Mon-Fri 9am to 3pm for showers, laundry, and lunch. All they ask is that you do a chore.

They helps the community. They are always having events

They are the best! Their culture of being like Jesus is as close as human may become; they treat their guest with much respect. It's a clear environment. Even the Front line employee live up to Breakthrough's core values and mission statement.

Love serving at Breakthough! The people there are an inspiration for all of us. Truly God is working through Breakthrough

All I can say they were very good to me when I felt down they lyft me up they have a program now don't count them out .

6-8 week waiting list just get a bed at night is beyond ridiculous especially in this city where people could be dead by then!!!

Great place, they try hard. If you are willing and need a helping hand this place will help you get to where you need to be. God bless this house.

This is were you go when life got you down and out they will lift you up

Helped me when I was homeless. Great support staff and lots of motivation.

Worked as a volunteer and there are very friendly people and staff.
