Craig s Compassionate Cafe back in operation April 20 2021
After a soft opening on March 29, the cafe is once again open to the public to any who need a meal
A shiny new kitchen now greets the visitors and volunteers every morning that Craig s Compassionate Café is open to the public at 780 E. First St.
The café is part of the outreach of Redemption House Ministries, a 501c3, faith-based nonprofit, which is located within the building that is the Prineville Nazarene Church on East First Street. The mission at Redemption House Ministries is not only to provide a nourishing meal for those who find themselves in a tough situation, but for the shelter it provides a warm bed. It also serves a deeper goal, which is to uproot the seed of fear inherent in those who experience homelessness, and to re-plant seeds of hope into those who have lost this necessity, as explained eloquently on the Redemption House website.
