Are you affiliated with any churches?
As a 501c3 Barnabas is not affiliated with any churches, however, we do partner with most of our local churches for many of our events. We are incredibly thankful for their volunteers and donors who consistently give back to make our community a better place to live.
Can our group rent or use your facility or a room to have meetings?
As a 501c3 we are not able to rent out any space. However, in the future we hope to be able to partner with local groups for classes and meetings. At this point we are still in the process of updating our new location to make sure it is ready to be a shelter and because of this, we are not able to share space at this time. If you are looking for future dates, please email barnabasdirector@gmail.com so we can see if the dates will work.
