Adelaide's Place has been a constant force, helping homeless and disenfranchised women throughout the Atlantic City area for over 15 years. It provides a secure environment for women who have nowhere to go during the day. We encourage our participants to engage in social interactions and programs which include arts and crafts, provide life skill enhancements, a reading room, a nutritious snack and nutrition classes. Our ladies are treated with dignity and respect which they are entitled to as children of God. Our goal is to provide them with supportive services to improve their quality of life.
Adelaide's Place has evolved from a simple day program in a church basement. In the beginning women came for a brief escape from their situation, have a snack and talk with friends before entering back into the dangerous and unseen world in which they live.
Today Adelaide's Place offers the same welcoming sanctuary, but with many more opportunities, such as access to social workers, linkages to health care, services to locate temporary or permanent housing, and much more. Adelaide's Place has become a hub in the community. Sister Patty and the team of Volunteers not only help the many women who walk through the door, but also families in the neighborhood who need an occasional hand. The need continues to grow and Adelaide's Place will continue to work each day to make people's lives better.
