MorningStar Mission Women & Family Center
Builder Captain
In the 2004 Joliet/Will County Continuum of Care Gaps Analysis, additional family shelter was identified as a significant need. There are currently 153 individual family members experiencing homelessness each night in Will County.
MorningStar Mission Ministries was founded in 1909 with a focus on resolving homelessness. It is a social service organization dedicated to relieving the spiritual and physical hunger of the poor. MorningStar Mission is the only agency in the Will County area that provides three hot meals a day to the homeless and needy.
The MorningStar Mission Family & Women Recovery Center adds seventy-two beds to the area. This residency-based program includes teaching life skills, delivering vocational training and providing clients with supportive services and aftercare to maintain long term, sustained independence. MorningStar is the only organization in Will County to house intact families, and keep mom, dad and children together or a single mom with male children over 10 years of age together.
