Urban ministry center Reviews

IThe compassionate and determined mission to change the living conditions of homeless people is real at Urban Ministry. Volunteers come together to define and restore individuals to a healthy life. This ministry not only provide daily meals, but it equips guest with needed tools to establish employment, peer support assistance, housing, medical and mental health assistance, job trianing and the list continues. I am so thankful that Urban Ministry was in place to help restore my life. The employees are very sensitive and overly concerned about those who will enter it doors. Urban Ministry's sense of caring for those who have fallen in life is real. Praise God!!!!

A place where you can have your mail sent too. Showers, resource center, and a daily meal

Tent City is gone for now and they finally helped put the people into safe , clean enviorments.

Very very lovely place to places here to help me for the homeless to get a shower and to use the telephone to get your mail and you get a lunch everyday and wash your clothes

Feeds homeless 11:15 to 12:15 pm and is nurse and showers bathroom and good helpful people, can get a bus pass for between shelters .

Literally my favorite place in the whole world. Life itself is born here.

It's like HQ for homeless people. Lots of them just hanging around.

They really show the care about a human some places that pose to be for the people I notice they don't give a care about people..Young older sad

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Urban Ministries, and I'll tell you why... .
On Jan.20, 2020 I got off the Greyhound after being homeless for 11 yrs in Charlotte, coming from Florida, active in my Opiate addiction wanting to make a positive change in my life. I went to UM on my first 24 hours into full blown withdrawals, and that in itself was Hell and it took me literally, 9 days to get through it at UM. Yes, I kicked my addiction cold turkey. But, during my first 9 days new to Charlotte, UM at the time had "Rooms at the Inn", during the winter, B4 the virus hit and I was able to get in every time. Just as an update it's now October 26, 2021 and I'm still sober. As far as withdrawals, I was able to see the nurse when she came in, I explained my situation, and she was kind enough to help me with my symptoms, which was a huge help.
As far as the other issues I had, I was able to get my NC ID through UM, I was able to wash my clothes and dry them because they have the facilities there to do so. I was able to get lunch there everyday, I was able to take an awesomely hot shower, they provide toiletries, as well as feminine products. I was able to receive mail there, too.
If there was anything that I needed help with to get back on my feet and to be independent, UM was able to refer me.
So, to make a long review shorter...If you are doing the footwork and need help with ANYTHING, that will bring you out of homelessness, UM is the place to go. No one is discriminated against, and every person that either works there or volunteers, shows nothing but love.
I'm giving Urban Ministries a 5 star rating.
Oh, and It literally took me 11/2 yrs. to get my life back, but I had issues. I am so proud and grateful to say I am now living, for 4 months now, in my new apartment and doing great.
I'm very grateful for God and Urban Ministries for all the love and support they showed me.
If I can do it...ANYONE CAN!!
