Our mission is to feed, clothe and shelter those in need and to show the love of Jesus Christ in words and actions.

To accomplish our mission we provide programs that meet the emergency, transitional and spiritual needs of people in crisis. By creating an environment that emphisizes the God-given potential of each individual, our goal is to empower men, women and families to make the necessary lifestyle changes that enable the to exchange homelessness for a full and productive life.

Announcements
Emergency Shelter Open House on October 19th

10.16.2006

You are invited to help open the doors of the Yolo Wayfarer Center’s new year-round homeless shelter and to raise awareness of hunger on October 19th, 2006. The Empty Bowls luncheon will be held from 11:30AM until 1:30PM (two seatings: 11:30AM and 12:15PM) at Fourth and North Streets in Woodland.

Handmade ceramic bowls - made by elementary, middle and high school students, and by artists from around Yolo county - will be available in the event's gallery of bowls, and a simple soup luncheon will be served. The purpose of the event is to raise hunger awareness, and raise funds for the new homeless shelter in Woodland. Tours of the new shelter will be available.

For $25 you get lunch and a beautiful, hand crafted bowl to take home to help remind you of the empty bowls that need filling in our community and our world.

Please consider supporting this unique, new to Woodland fundraiser - some tickets are still available, and we are hoping for a sell out. The Empty Bowls national project started out as a high school community service project in 1990 in Michigan. Events are often scheduled around World Food Day, which is October 16 this year.

Phone 530.661.1218 to reserve your ticket, or purchase them at Premier West Bank (Main and Fifth St.), at the Corner Drug, or at the Wayfarer Center Office located at Freeman Park in the United Way building (keep in mind their offices will be moving this week, and early next to Fourth and North Streets)... read more
