Needs List
The Elgin Wayside Center is more than a homeless day center. It’s a place where the broken and struggling, and the church, can connect. Here, guests come to our center for food, clothing, and a place to rest, but receive much more… the opportunity to rebuild their lives on the promises of God in our new, multi-phase, recovery, and transitional housing facility!
Each person we serve is provided with support and guidance through Bible studies, mentors, Christian counseling and structured recovery programs that can lead them to a godly and growing life filled with hope. Check out our new location at:
1732 Berkley St., Elgin, IL 60123
Since 1993, the Elgin Wayside Center has provided shelter for the homeless and witnessed lives transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  With the help of faithful volunteers, hundreds of individuals and needy families are assisted each year with practical, life-changing services and basic necessities, so the broken can find hope.
Like a temporary home, the center offers what most people take for granted – free meals, safe daytime center, laundry services, showers, and individual lockers to keep personal items secure. Computers to finish their educational goals, connect with loved ones, apply for work, and collaborative services.
In addition, multiple Bible studies, classes, and the support of volunteers provide healthy relationships and
fresh
perspective. More over, the center also collaborates with many area organizations, churches, and ministries so people in need can find additional resources and the support they need. They can also choose to access Wayside’s transitional housing and recovery programs.
Many of our guests also make
Master’s Touch
or
Lifespring
, our residential programs in Aurora, their next step toward lasting transformation through Christ.
Together, these programs allow an individual to move forward in connecting with Christ and the church, as well as forming healthy life habits and re-entering the workforce, all while living in a peaceful, calm, and supportive environment.
Want to serve: we provide great volunteer opportunities Elgin. Clothing and food donations gladly accepted.
