Info

The Transformation Center is a community outreach center dedicated to rebuilding lives and restoring communities through holistic transformation. Their Lilies Place food and clothing distribution center operates in a store-like setting, allowing guests to personally select items rather than receiving pre-packed boxes, with a strong emphasis on promoting dignity. Guests typically leave with a three to four day supply of food along with clothing. Lines start forming well before opening time, so arriving early is recommended. The center addresses poverty, addiction, poor education, unemployment, and social injustice through additional programs including an after-school program for children, services for the unhoused population with a hot meal shower and fellowship, and a mobile health clinic that visits weekly.
