We inspire generosity to feed the hungry and provide hope for those suffering from addiction. We envision the long-term empowerment of people through hope, recovery, and transformation. Jesus House opened in 1973 in a storefront building at Reno and Walker Avenues by Sister Ruth Wynne and Sister Betty Adams. In the early years, our location often changed. Still, Jesus House was always on the front line providing those in need with food, clothing, shelter, and spiritual encouragement. We have no profit motive, only a strong desire to meet the needs of our suffering neighbors and help those who have nowhere else to turn. Love has always and will continue to live here!
