Homelessness Prevention
Our church supports the Northwoods Alliance for Temporary Housing (NATH) in their efforts to end and prevent homelessness.
NATH exists to provide safe housing and basic needs to families and individuals who are homeless, with an atmosphere of encouragement, respect, dignity and hope, while nurturing and promoting self-sufficiency and independence. NATH sponsors Frederick Place, the homeless shelter located in Rhinelander.
NATH also promotes public awareness of homelessness by partnering with Northwoods resource agencies and by educating the communities in our service area.
In addition to the ongoing financial support First Congregational UCC of Rhinelander provides to NATH, a team of cooks provides meals on a rotating basis. If you’d like to join this team, call the church office at 715-365-1535.
