Hear From Our Volunteers

"I lost my job and my apartment in the same month. Lantern House gave me a safe place to sleep and the case management I needed to get back on my feet. Today, I have my own place again."

Michael T.
Former Guest

"Pasé el Año Nuevo en este refugio y encontré que los servicios eran de apoyo y estaban bien mantenidos. Se ofrecían tres comidas al día, además de acceso a agua caliente, sábanas limpias y toallas frescas cada día. En general, fue un lugar seguro y estable para comenzar mi camino como inmigrante."

Jose
Ex Huésped

"I spent time at this shelter and found the services to be supportive and well-maintained. There were three meals provided daily, along with access to hot water, clean sheets, and fresh towels each day. Overall, it felt like a safe and stable place to begin my journey as an immigrant."
