Timberlake Outreach Center

Hi, my name is Amy Springer, and I am blessed to be able to say that I work at the Open Door Mission. More specifically, I get to work at the Timberlake Outreach Center where we serve the community, and I love my job!

I don’t know what you know about the Timberlake Outreach Center, but I would like to take this opportunity to give you a quick overview of the services we offer!

Kings Kloset: We take all of the donated clothing, household items, appliances, and furniture and GIVE it to families in need! How awesome is that? You can donate things that your family no longer uses or needs and bless other families with it. However, the physical things we give to people in need are only a small part of what we do here at the Timberlake Outreach Center.

For instance, did you know that we also offer Life Skill Classes? We have Life Skill Classes such as: GED, English as a Second Language, Common Sense Parenting, See Them Grow, Nutrition Class, Budgeting and some tutoring as well. People can come in and take these classes for free! If you, or someone you know, are in need of one of these classes, you can contact Judy Collins at 829-1540 or email at jcollins@opendoormission.org for information and class times!

Another class offered is Worknet. Worknet is a set of workshops to help men and women become more aware of the God given talents they naturally have and are already using. It is three weeks of Workshops, Interactive Labs, Mock Interviews and ends with a Celebration of Accomplishments. If you, or someone you know are interested in Worknet, call Tyrone Abdul at 829-1579 or email at tabdul@opendoormission.org for more information.

We also offer the 29/11 Program that is based on Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” This program has Strength Based Case Management, a 4 Phase Program plan to move clients from Survival to Long Term Growth, In-Depth Budgeting and Employment help, Spiritual Growth and Life Skill Classes. If you, or someone you know are interested in the 29/11 Program, call Jeannette Blackstone at 829-1552 or email at jblackstone@opendoormission.org for more information!

If you want to know more about volunteering at the Open Door Mission, give Cris Morris a call at 829-1504 or email at cmorris@opendoormission.org to set up a time for a tour!
