Providing a home for the Homeless

"I bowed down to the lord. Before, I was sleeping anywhere I could but I don't have to live like that, no."

Robert Lee Turner was sleeping in the gazebo at Pointdexter Park just a few weeks ago. Now, he lives in this house on Sunrise Drive. House of Restoration operates out of the home. The group provided Christmas meals to 45 homeless people this year, but it's a year-round effort that provides meals at Jackson-area parks and bus stops.

"We took them food and Christmas bags to show them we love them," Minister Ricky Canipe. The mission serves meals three days a week and they need your help to re-fill the food pantry, but the biggest need is for a stove to cook warm meals. The mission runs on donations.

Turner says finding this place changed his life, "Three weeks ago I was in the park and it was going to be 25 degrees and these people came and took my hand and said sir you're not going to sleep out here tonight."

You can donate to the House of Restoration at 4326 Sunset Drive in Jackson or by calling Minister Ricky Canipe at 601-260-9512.
