LEARN ABOUT OUR WORK-2-EARN PROGRAM
If you are experiencing homelessness and need items to keep you going through long winter nights or need help getting around town, we would love to help. Our Work-2-Earn program was developed to allow you to earn items off of a menu (including access to showers, sleeping tents, sleeping bags, etc.). Come visit us at The Life Center to schedule volunteer hours with us (Monday – Friday, 9 – 11 AM) or with our partner ministry, GraceFull Cafe (Tuesday – Saturday, 1 – 3 PM). If we can help you get through a day on the streets, hopefully, you will have more energy to focus on different aspects of your life you want to change.

We are located in Historic Downtown Littleton and open 7 am – 2 pm Tuesday through Saturday. We are unique in that we are a craft coffee shop with a full kitchen with all food made fresh on site. We offer craft coffee, breakfast and lunch daily.
We believe that names are important; that each person has an unique story and gift to offer this world and that every person should have access to one good meal a day. That is why paying is always optional, as is paying extra to help provide a meal for someone else. So come and join us in whatever way makes sense for you –share a cup of coffee with a good meal, volunteer with us, but most importantly, experience community.
