The Elgin Wayside Center is more than a homeless day center. It’s a place where struggling and broken men, women and children, and the church, can connect. Here, guests come to our center for food, clothing, and a place to rest, but receive much more!
Each person we serve is provided with guidance, Bible studies, and programs that can lead them to a godly and growing life filled with hope. Check out our new location at: 453 Fremont St, Elgin, IL 60120
Since 1993, the Elgin Wayside Center has provided shelter for the homeless and witnessed lives transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With the help of faithful volunteers, hundreds of individuals and needy families are assisted each year with practical, life-changing services and basic necessities, so the broken can find hope.
Like a temporary home, the center offers what most people take for granted – free meals, safe daytime center, laundry services, showers, and individual lockers to keep personal items secure. Computers to connect with loved ones, apply for work, or collaborative services.
In addition, multiple Bible studies, classes, and the support of volunteers provide healthy relationships and
Many of our guests make Master’s Touch or Lifespring, our residential programs in Aurora, their next step toward lasting transformation through Christ.
These programs allow an individual to move forward in connecting with Christ and the church, as well as forming healthy life habits and re-entering the workforce, all while living in a peaceful, calm, and supportive environment.
Want to serve: we provide great volunteer opportunities Elgin. Clothing and food donations gladly accepted.

These days, Lark has gained some really good friendships at Lifespring. She appreciates that there are people in the program that she can share her struggles with, like a resident named Rica, who is very knowledgeable about the Bible. “She’ll quote me things and talk to me.” She has helped Lark through some tough times. Women in the Lifespring program all come from different walks of life. Lark shared, “But we are all here for the same reason. We’re broken, and we need help. We need God! We are here wanting to know how to be put back together…but for the most part we are a family.”
We embrace all people with the compassion of Christ
