About The Center
The Pekin Outreach Center opened in downtown Pekin, IL in February of 2021. The purpose for the center is to give people experiencing homelessness in the Pekin area a place to go to feel safe and welcome during the day.
We work with our guests daily to help them find the solutions to try to get their lives back on track. We strive to change their lives by caring and connecting them with agencies that can help them. Our goal is to not enable the people that come into the center, but to help transition them back to a better life.
Guests are able to have meals, do laundry, take showers and are provided with the assistance needed to help them get their life back on track.
The center runs solely with the help of our board members and volunteers. We have strict policies and rules that each guest must follow in order to keep the center a safe and enjoyable place for everyone.
