Southside Drop-In Center
Meal Center
Our Southside Drop-In Center houses our day programming. The Center, located on the corner of 4th and Wyandotte Streets in Southside Bethlehem, is open Monday-Friday from 8:30-4:00pm, with extended hours in extreme weather. The Hospitality Center houses the following programs:
Meal Center: Our Meal Center serves a nutritious hot meal each afternoon. Meals are prepared and served by volunteer teams from local businesses, faith organizations, community groups, or school groups. Each day, up to 100 people join us for our meal services. Weekend breakfast services are offered two Saturdays and two Sundays a month thanks to volunteers from Grace Church and Jesus is the Way Ministries. Special meals are observed on the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
In 2021: Over 40,000 meals (including seconds) were served at our Southside Drop-in Center and Trinity Soup Kitchen
Other Services
Hygiene Services: Those needing to wash up can take a shower in our two, newly-renovated shower facilities as well as use our laundry machine.
Wellness Center: Our Wellness Center, inside of the Drop-In Center, provides holistic services via partnerships. Twice a month, a free primary care clinic for those we serve runs out of the Wellness Center through our partnership with the Lehigh Valley Health Network “Street Medicine” Program. Additionally, a bilingual representative from Haven House visits the Wellness Center weekly, providing life skills workshops and one-on-one referral services.
