About us

Open Door Ministries is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people regain their lives through supportive services and emergency assistance. Our programs and services are solution-oriented and ministry minded, including the operation of a homeless shelter, serving daily meals, distributing non-perishable and fresh food, obtaining permanent housing, and acquiring and maintaining permanent jobs.

Open Door Ministries was established in 1995 as a merger of Urban Ministries and the Open Door Shelter.

Urban Ministries began in 1969 and provided food, clothing, and assisted with financial needs.

The Open Door Shelter began in 1987 and provided a homeless shelter for men, women, and children.
