​The Sgt. Eugene Ashley Memorial Center


Each November St. Andrew’s, our church joins with the Pre-School to collect non-perishable foods for the Ashley Memorial Center. Ministry teams claim a stained glass window and fill it from top to bottom with food items in this annual tradition.

The Sgt. Eugene Ashley Memorial Center provides short-term, transitional Bridge Housing for up to 16 homeless Veterans. In addition, eight units of Permanent Supportive Housing are available for qualified applicants. The Ashley Center was established to provide homeless Veterans with a safe place to live, grow, and become empowered as they make the transition to permanent housing. Since its inception in 2001, the Ashley Center program has succeeded in returning 92% of participating Veterans to permanent housing. Over 55 men graduated from the program.
