The document discusses plans for a new community resource called "The Rest Stop" to help the homeless population in Casa Grande. It notes that the current homeless count is likely an undercount, and that there is no shelter available during inclement weather. The Rest Stop aims to provide basic human services like showers, laundry, and resources to help homeless individuals feel valued. It will offer these day services and act as a safe place for those in need.

2. Have You Ever
Felt
Invisible Before…

3. Loneliness
Desperation

4. CURRENT ISSUE
•The 2018 Point in Time count showed 93 homeless
in Casa Grande; however, this number only
represents the number of homeless willing to
complete a 7 page survey.
•The hot lunch at Fountains of Living Water is
currently the only service in town for the homeless;
there is no place for them in inclement weather.

5. Community
Coming Together

6. WHY THE REST STOP?
•Many homeless feel despair and invisible. Basic human
needs such as showers and clean clothes are not an
option. No one should have to use a water spigot in an
ally to brush their teeth.
• The Rest Stop will be a safe place that allows them to
have an opportunity to these basic human dignities and
feel valued as a person.

7. Helping those who need it,
no matter the circumstance

8. DAY SERVICES
OFFERED
•Showers
•Laundry
•Water / Snacks

Refreshing the Soul

10. “Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest”
Matthew 11:28
