The Living Room Life Center is our service hub for women and children and is open from 9 am to 1:30 pm.

Cleveland Campus
1207 Cleveland Avenue
Santa Rosa, CA 95401
Our Cleveland Campus is where our volunteer, housing, and food programs are located as well as admin offices. This is also where our Green Initiative is supported with our tower garden and solar system.
The campus houses our Secret Hope Kitchen, which prepares over 900 meals a week for low-income seniors, former foster youth, re-entry program participants (returning citizens previously incarcerated), as well as our street outreach partners. It is because of our generous and devoted volunteers that we are able to serve and partner with the diverse demographics of this program, as well as fortify our Life Center staff.
Our housing program manages 8 residences throughout Santa Rosa from the Cleveland Campus. Additionally, we work with numerous local partners to support participants with immediate shelter and housing needs.
