HELENA — Our Place is a drop-in center for those facing homelessness to create new beginnings. Their doors will be closing before the new year as they continue the search for a new location.

Our Place is located at 631 Last Chance Gulch and offers day services for people who are homeless.

The building that houses Our Place was purchased, forcing organizer Good Samaritan to find a new location, but organizers haven't been able to finalize a new location.

Good Samaritan Ministries began managing Our Place in December of 2019. Since then, Our Place says individuals and services have doubled to helping around one thousand people per month.

Good Samaritan believes people are more likely to find stability and thrive when they have a space to go where they can be included, create community, and build relationships.

Mikayla Kapphan, the manager of Our Place, says, "They go to God’s Love for meals, but in between meals they don’t have anywhere to go and that’s where we came in and so there is a lot elderly that are unhoused at the moment and we have health concerns with them being out in negative degree weather."

God's Love is still available in downtown Helena for meals and shelter.

Good Samaritan will still offer blankets, supplies and assistance to people in need.
