Welcome to Turning Points
Help & Hope for Those In Need
Turning Points provides a remarkable variety of free services designed to assist individuals and families on their path to financial stability and independence. Turning Points is the one-stop shop for preventing and reducing homelessness in our community. We provide day resource services (such as hot showers, laundry services, clothing, food), employment services, rental and utility assistance, veteran’s services (employment & housing), and free medical and dental care for the uninsured. 8,300 people received assistance last year with critical services targeted to the essential needs of people in crisis. Turning Points can only provide this high standard of service because of our caring, compassionate volunteers and strong community support.
