Redmond Center

Let Hope Begin

Offering Respite, Facilitating Growth

The Redmond Center is a 24/7 low-barrier, walk-in day services center that provides three daily meals, overnight stays, case management, job opportunities, housing resources, and both shower and laundry services.

‍

The facility can house more than 50 individuals and families each night (expandable to 80 during extreme weather conditions) and offers separate men’s and women’s dorms, as well as Central Oregon’s only walk-in family rooms.

Serving 80–100 guests daily and providing about 70,000 meals annually, the Center also offers optional faith-based opportunities for personal growth and recovery within a non-discriminatory, safe environment. Whether you’re seeking support or are ready to offer it, we welcome you to the Redmond Center.

Syd Brestel - Story of Transformation

When Syd retired from ministry, he wanted to continue serving, so he volunteered at Shepherd’s House Ministries. But decades of church ministry didn’t prepare him for what he found.

Mike Yunker - Story of Transformation

Pastor Mike shares how serving at Shepherd’s House Ministries transformed his life by creating a safe, grace-filled community focused on unconditional love and seeing the God-given worth in each person, and he believes preserving that authentic culture is the ministry’s most important future challenge.

Addressing Homelessness: The First Step

Maybe you have had this thought like I have: “If only they could get a job ... that would solve so many of their problems.” With some income, they could get some food, get cleaned up, find a home, and get back on their feet.
