Feeds homeless 11:15 to 12:15 pm and is nurse and showers bathroom and good helpful people, can get a bus pass for between shelters .
IThe compassionate and determined mission to change the living conditions of homeless people is real at Urban Ministry. Volunteers come together to define and restore individuals to a healthy life. This ministry not only provide daily meals, but it equips guest with needed tools to establish employment, peer support assistance, housing, medical and mental health assistance, job trianing and the list continues. I am so thankful that Urban Ministry was in place to help restore my life. The employees are very sensitive and overly concerned about those who will enter it doors. Urban Ministrys sense of caring for those who have fallen in life is real. Praise God!!!!
Men helpful when we arrived with food
Literally my favorite place in the whole world. Life itself is born here.
They really show the care about a human some places that pose to be for the people I notice they dont give a care about people..Young older sad🤦🤦🙆🙆🤷♀️
Tent City is gone for now and they finally helped put the people into safe, clean enviorments.
Perfect place to give directly to people in need of help.
It is a fantastic place with very nice workers and they do more than what they should be able to do given the current situation. They always feed and always have enough for everyone and will help any person struggling as best as they can.
Urban Ministry Center if you need help. Is the place to go they will listen to you. And if they can help you that will they will not turn they back on you. The people that is very kind friendly dont be afraid to talk to anyone if you looking for help ask for and Heather she will help you
Hannah was extremely helpful
The people here are terrific! Thank you all for the wonderful and dedicated work that you do. I was able to shower here and shave. They also provided me with a letter to get a NC ID without costing me anything. Come here with a positive attitude. They will go to the moon and back to help.
People get their mail, take showers, eat lunch. Once in awhile, the nurse is there, rides to the social security and dmv are available. But they REFUSE to give out bus passes for people to get interviews and jobs.
Great help I love this place
I wasted money today to go check my mail and the gates were locked. They didnt say they will be closed today. I have important mail. I understand that the virus is going around but they could of found a better way of doing thingsNobody will not answer the phone and they are there. You cant get a virus through the phone.
A place where the homeless has called home. It is where they can set up tents ⛺, get donations from people who drop off various items for them.
Please Pary for everyone to receive a low income housing...
They are supposed to help people the way they made me feel never going back there for nothing
Truly a blessing
Although you can be fed, do your laundry, take a shower, and see a nurse if you dont go extremely early it can be an all day affair. There are a lot of people to take care of and they do what they can. I would give them more stars but I cant because when we got a flat tire in their parking lot we found out that our new used truck did not have a proper jack. My husband asked several workers for a jack being that they had two vans and asked other people with cars. NO ONE would help. My husband had to use pieces of wood, rocks, and concrete to push up the vehicle with no help. What would they have done if he were seriously injured? It wasnt until after he put on the spare that they told him that they do not help with flat tires. We were homeless, how could we afford a tow truck? They provide a lot of services but wont help you if you live in your truck and if youre stuck on their property they will have you towed at your expense. Doesnt make much sense. Btw, we were discriminated against because we are white.
Volunteer here. It will be life changing. Amazing people doing a lot of good
Many friendly, caring people.
If you are homeless its a very great place to get started on a new life of not being that way. I know because I got help from them. I now have an apartment income coming in they dont deserve 5-stars they deserved 10 Stars thank you Sylvia Thomas
Feeds the down-and-out. Many other services available. A great place to volunteer. Highly recommend you check it out.
They are very good and give you a chance to get your life together if you want to change your life or need to change!
Always helpful good hearted people.
10 yrs of steady meals.....
If you are looking for a great place to serve, urban ministries is wonderful. Always fun to serve those that are the least and less fortunate. If your church group or if you are interested as a family or otherwise, please contact them directly and ask how you can serve. Mecklenburg Community Church works with them with our Middle School Ministry every year to serve lemonade to people that use this ministry.
If youre not there by 8:30 in the morning seeking housing assistance AFTER calling 211 then plan on not being able to be helped because they only have one person on site that can assist with housing. Be. There. Early!!
Awesome place for resources whether youre homeless or not they can help you with many many things. They have been such a blessing over the last few years and staff is always friendly and patient. May God bless the volunteers that make this place run
Friendly and reliable. The Urban Ministry provides important information and services for the homeless in Charlotte.
They try to help the best they can. They provide a range of services. There are expected situations here due to the people being served are in crisis situations.
Kind and generous volunteers. Helpful counselors and other staff.
The cross eyed black lady named michela refused to give me a bus pass for work my job had told her Wednesday of last week I get paid friday she gave me a 10 ride which today is Monday my 10 ride ran out she said july 3rd Im getting my first pay check so I went up there today to get second bus pass she refused to give me the bus pass now I lost my job due to urban ministry they literally dont care about a pregnant women getting a job
The staffs are cool but the homeless people are driving me crazy tho
Good for a meal when you hungry, but feels like a prison yard !
I volunteered at the Urban Ministry Center last week to help organize and hand out breakfast for Charlottes homeless neighbors. It was pouring rain and to see the faces light up of those who needed shelter and food was life changing. I recommend volunteering with the amazing folks at the Urban Ministry Center to help support their cause to end homelessness in Charlotte.
Theyre straight to you
Becks parents date you know people is homeless people can take you when they only had like maybe you 78 beds maybe for daybeds they tried their best but the same time they need to do a lot more about the man is really struggling they take more females than men and thats bad you know we will be equals to have room for beds for us to it means I want people is in there sleeping good you got the other guys the 14 or maybe men out there in the streets they got to sleep out there just make sure you do your due diligence before you go there
They made me wait for a whole hour to found out that they not giving out bus passes.
Urban Ministry is there to help you if you truly want some help its not a place where you go to and try to tell help how to help you.Thank you Urban Ministries
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am Ill come running to see you again winter spring summer or fall all you have to do is call and Ill be there yes I will you have a friendThese people have got to be the most helpful people in the world day in and day out these people help the homeless and get them into better places then they all right now they feed them they close them and they try they best to house them these guys are phenomenal
Like a little village to help the homeless. Very organized and polite staff, lots of services enjoyed learning about their procedures to improve our service to others!
I called and asked if they helped with laundry and showers like their websites says but the lady on the phone said they dont do that anymore. That they basically just give you numbers to call other agencies to help you. Whats the point in that? I could easily look those places up on my phone. I walked almost 30 min to them just to call and say they dont help. But hey, at least theyll give you numbers. So theres that....
Not agood 🥺 place
Great place, offering resources to help the less fortunate, including meals, identification assistance, housing assistance and limited medical assistance.
Do not stand on what they say there Vision is
After a mental breakdown, my narcissistic sister assaulted me and I had to leave by becoming homeless. Im actually better off. Thank goodness for Rooms in the Inn through Urban Ministries and Promise Resource Network. Both entities are overseeing my efforts to recover and shelter me while doing so! I am so GRATEFUL these community services exist! Each stay/church had comfortable arrangements and kind people. When my own family kicked me out, Mecklenburg County, Rooms and Promise Resource Network stepped in to help!!Thank you.
They dont help you with anything. Leave the homeless standing outside in the cold with their children all morning unlock the gate when they get ready do not help you with resources or get housing....
Great place for all different kinds of resources. More helpful than any where Ive found since Ive been here.
Great resource for homeless people take shower, wash clothes, eat lunch & seek services.
Service and resources is great. If you need help then go.
Very courteous and thanks for having places like this for people who needs it.
Seems to be a safe place for homeless people I had to change a piece of glass out that got broke thier
The Urban Ministry Center is a resource for people in our community that are homeless or challenged in meeting all of their basic needs. The daily meal service that they provide really makes a difference. I am amazingly blessed, so it just makes sense for me to be a volunteer.
They are really great.i am from charlotte and was homeless and a lady named grace manor helped me get my disability.i got my disability in 2010. thank you all for everything.i now live in Birmingham,alabama for 8 years.i am married to a Christian Alabama man.
Good people here
Always pleasurable experience with the staff.
Hungry homless turned away with no food no shower... NO ONE HERE CARES! Funding for this program is being mishandled. Bmw mercedes parked in front. No one to help 35 yo male disabled
Urban ministry is more than just a soup kitchen if youre serious about getting help and progressing see one of the counselors and they will point you in the right direction
I rushed down there to do the assessment I was told I needed. But was told by Megan that the womens shelter is full & always is full. My son would have to go to the teen shelter & thats always full as well. So she didnt know what to tell me. What! Absolutely a waste of time! They didnt do anything to help us!
Went here for teeth cleaning. It was good
There could, not be a place like this at all in Charlotte to help the homeless and others who are in need, so lets be thankful first of all. Secondly, there are those who are in more need than others, like entire homeless families and then cost for supplies that may get low some times to give out to the homeless, food, clothes, shoes, shelter for the night or several nights. So, for those of you who did not receive the help you wanted, dont blame the Ministry because the help you need might not be the help you want or vis versa, the help wanted might not be the help needed. Dont judge a book by its cover either, because the Mission is whats most important and is a Great one and with all the homeless in Charlotte that this ministry helps we should all be thankful because just to give a $1 or $2 or some coins when you see them on the street may or may not be helping them.But the ministry is helping them with all of the above assistance every day. Thank you Urban Ministry Center!
THIS IS A PLACE FOR INFOMATION... AND HELP FOR THE HOMELESS.. TAKE SHOWER, GET MAIL, MAKE PHONE CALLS..HAVE LUNCH AT 11 AM.. ON DIFFERENT DAYS THEY HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO DIFFERENT PLACES LIKE DSS, DMV, SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE.
I went there in Charlotte NC to get help because I was homeless at the time. This place is a joke. Some of the people that work there have nasty attitudes.
Good people helping out
A good resourceful place when you are going through a transitional situation.
Awesome place with some awesome people doing awesome things to impact and influence the community and city at large to those less fortunate
They offer meals and showers to the homeless and also have a laundry room to let people wash their clothes. They also assist people get ID cards from the DMV
Because of the way they are helping out with the people that are in need
A helpful resource center for the many homeless in Charlotte
Its a great church for the homeless to seek help with necessities.
Urban Ministry is okay if youre just moving into town I wouldnt bother as a place to hang around just take care of your business and leave.
Very good program, this is a place where you can shower, do your laundry, and get a meal!!
Love the way they help people. Nice staff.
They help you get identification card and other services.Not many resources for the homeless that are needing housing.
Ive never seen any breakfast. The Urb helps out some with laundry, showers, some counseling but unless you ate a drug addict or an alcoholic, crazy, elderly, have small children, or handicapped you fall between the cracks. There are people who have been given a place to live that lost it only to receive another 5 or 6 times.The community donates clothes and stuff but we never get any.Im thankful for the Room in the Inn program from December 1st to March 31St. Thats when a few churches open their doors to let a lot of ungrateful people eat, wash up, and sleep for the night out of the elements.I appreciate that. Thank you.
Very helpful in all my needs
Organized...fast service.. clean facility.. helpful Representatives
Have saved the life of many homeless people great great place.
It was a helpful place. And the staff were great
I was able to help others
Opportunity to help folks in need. Friendly staff. Busy days that go quickly.
It is wonderful but this organization does for our community.
Everyone should volunteer here the staff needs help with all they do for the honey community
They will help themselves ....not you
It has 5 start potential if they clean up the people just hang out and cause trouble for people looking to get help for a better life... Leave nothing unattended......
Had a great lil lunch service and helped worth afew other issues as well
Very helpful. Does the community good being around.
If you need help is a good place to come and they are caring people
I was sexually harassed yesterday, and the police absolutely did nothing. He actually banned me instead. I did not hit or harass anyone. I police on call said I was not sexually harassed because he not touch me.
Decent lunch. Showers, laundry, limited free dental 2nd Friday of every month, help with housing, other referrals.
Because they help people get a roof over there head and feed people lunch
One of the BEST ways to help our less fortunate neighbors!My FAV CLT Charity
It helps you getting your important stuff u need back
Staff here do not fully connect with the major issues from the Homeless people that need services! Building needs major renovations and upgrades! The Rooms Inn Program that starts in December, caters more to Women and children than for Men! Men are out numbered, and the rules for admission leave men stranded outside, hungry with no other options for a free place of shelter! Tax payers are wasting money on the Urban Ministry Center to fail in not meeting the needs and not providing the services needed in 2018 to reshape the Homeless problem in Charlotte!
Great place the staff there will constantly ask you for money
Alot of drugs in place and alot of stealing
Great place for different resources I recommend this establishment for anyone
