Our Story

What we do: On any typical day at Lexington’s New Life Day Center (NLDC), 150 homeless who formerly walked the streets and loitered in public facilities, take the opportunity to be out of the weather and off the street in our place of peaceful refuge. With no other regular source for breakfast for homeless, each day we serve fruit and pastries preventing several hundred from going hungry in the mornings. Once inside our facility, homeless clients are guided towards pursuits that can lead to a more constructive life. Our priority goal is to be a “connecting point” to jobs and housing that enables them to get permanently off the street.

In the past 2 years, we have created a highly successful program that provides free rent deposit assistance (RDA) to enable homeless to get into permanent housing. Most recently, New Life Day Center has led the campaign for the City to reduce panhandling on the streets of Lexington. By providing them jobs, panhandlers on our streets have been reduced by over 80% in the first year of operation. A free Medical Clinic is on site three times weekly with physicians, nurses, and mental health professionals providing free diagnostics, preventive type treatment, and medications. To help address spiritual needs, we hold two regular weekly Worship Services on-site for homeless clients. Over 30 homeless clients regularly attend.

Why We’re Great: NLDC has helped over 500 homeless into housing and jobs since we opened in 2011. Over 75% of those housed have not relapsed back to the street. Our van provides transportation to many social service locations throughout the city. This equates to nearly 10,000 van runs per year! The Panhandler program has provided day jobs to the panhandlers and assisted the city in litter collection. Over 8500 bags of trash have been removed from city streets – a win for the citizens and for the homeless! Finally, we serve over 82,000 cups of coffee in a year – it may seem trivial as an individual act but often a smile and a warm cup of coffee in the morning is the “connection” that starts a relationship to a better life! That is why our goal for an out of the weather, off the streets peaceful place of refuge remains the backbone of who we are and why we are great!
