RAM House - Roanoke Area Ministries

RAM House - Roanoke Area Ministries RAM House's vision is to provide hope by preventing and alleviating homelessness and hunger in the Blue Ridge Region.

Roanoke Area Ministries doors are open 365 days a year from 8:00am to 4:00pm. Visit our website at http://www.raminc.org. For FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE call (540) 981-1732. Our Mission:
Roanoke Area Ministries (RAM) is an interfaith non-profit that advocates for those facing or are threatened by homelessness and hunger. Founded in 1971, our doors are open for those needing care coordination, day shelte

r services, meals, and emergency financial assistance. Our programs:

Emergency Financial Assistance: Unexpected things happen. A hospital visit, a leaky roof, sudden job loss, death of breadwinner. These are just some of the emergencies that can push a person teetering on the edge of homeless completely over the edge. RAM provides one time emergency financial assistance to help with utility bills, rent, deposits and life saving medications. RAM House Day Shelter: Since 1987, the RAM House Day Shelter has provided refuge from the elements and a place of comfort, acceptance and support for those most in need. We recognize the need for support during some of life's most trying times. Hot Noontime Meal: One in five children go hungry part of every month. Hunger can affect health, quality of life, and leave a person unable to face daily challenges. We serve a nutritious lunch, every day, to anyone who has need. RAM House has a clothes closet that is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for our homeless guests to "shop" for their clothing needs. Homeless guests also have access to laundry facilities to help them maintain cleanliness. RAM networks with other agencies to help obtain state ID's for our homeless guests and to refer them for the services and other help they need to enable them to get off the streets and into a permanent home.

Thank you.
