Welcome!

Stephen Center partners with the community, families and individuals to overcome homelessness, addiction and mental health challenges.

The Merry Mart will provide clients at Stephen Center the opportunity to shop for their children from donated items at no cost to the family. Gifts for adults are also needed so everyone at Stephen Center can open a gift on Christmas morning.
