CRISIS MINISTRIES IS NOWONE80 PLACENEW NAME, SAME ORGANIZATION YOU’VE KNOWN FOR YEARS
Imagine for a minute you never heard of Crisis Ministries.
Imagine you are in the darkest hour of your life. You
have nothing to eat, nowhere safe to stay, and no hope
of getting help. If you heard on the street about a place
called Crisis Ministries, would you think of it as a place
to turn your life around? Would you want to come
home every day with the reminder you’re in crisis?
Now imagine you haven’t made a financial contribution,
or served a meal in the soup kitchen, or visited for a
tour. What would you think happens inside the walls
of a place called Crisis Ministries? Would you assume
homeless people are getting help with education and
employment? How about healthcare and legal services?
Does it sound like a place where people are returning to
self-sufficiency?
Now think about One80 Place.
What does that organization do?
THE JOURNEY TO ONE80 PLACE…
About a year ago, we conducted a professional survey
of our donors, volunteers, staff, and leaders asking
what they knew about Crisis Ministries, why they cared
about the organization, and how they would identify
the “core” of our mission. The single most important
thing we learned was that people did not understand
the breadth and depth of what we do, and the name
Crisis Ministries didn’t start the conversation well,
if at all.
FINDING ONE80 PLACE…
We ask a name to do a lot, don’t we? It needs to be
intriguing and reflect the work of the organization. It
should inspire participation. People should be drawn to it.
We considered lots of options. Some names sounded
too corporate – like a government entity, or like a real
estate agency. Others really didn’t sound like anything,
wh i le some had so ma ny word s , no one cou ld
remember where we started!
But when we hit on the number “180”, everything
snapped into focus.
When we open our new shelter, our organization will have 180
beds for homeless people who want to turn their lives around.
“Doing a 180” means just that - turning around.
When we write the name of the organization as One80,
starting with “one” reminds us that our mission is ending
homelessness one person at a time, one family at a time.
The tag line Begin Again is short, but powerful. It succinctly
sums up the message we’re sharing with our guests - we can
help you begin again.

So much has happened for our organization in the past
few years. Our services have evolved and our budget
has grown. We’re moving into our new shelter. And
now we’ve got a new name.
But our mission stays the same: to end homelessness
one person at a time, one family at a time. We’re the
same organization you’ve known and loved for 30 years,
working toward another 30 years. For more information
on our name change and to learn more about our
supportive programs, visit www.one80place.org.

WE’RE THE SAME ORGANIZATION.
2014-2015 BOARD MEMBERS
WE’RE COMMITTED TO YOUR EXPERIENCE!
We get one question more often than any other...
HOW CAN I HELP?
And if you’ve been to our downtown campus during
construction to make a financial contribution or to drop
off material goods, it hasn’t been easy.
But we’ve got good news! The Bakker Donation Center in
our new building will serve as the hub for visitors making
donations to One80 Place. The center is located at the front
of the new building with plenty of parking and a covered
entrance. Inside, you’ll find trained volunteers to help
you, answer questions, and make sure your experience
as a donor is top-notch.
Before visiting the Bakker Donation Center, please help us
by reviewing information on our website about making
financial contributions and donating material goods. For
example, we don’t accept some items - like clothing,
books, and household goods - because we partner with
other organizations to provide these items to our guests.
If you have questions, our Development team is available
to help. Give them a call at 843.723.9477.
DID YOU KNOW…?
Veterans are disproportionately homeless.
That’s one reason we’re expanding the number
of beds reserved for male Veterans in our new shelter.
Our original facility had 14 beds, and our new shelter
has 40 beds (as well as laundry and bathroom facilities
in the new Veterans Dormitory).
Homeless people are more l ikely to suffer
from illness and injury than people who are
housed. Our new Health Clinic, funded in part through
gifts from the Roper St. Francis Physicians Endowment,
offers a well-designed space for volunteer physicians
and medical professionals to treat our guests. The new
clinic even has a room outfitted specifically for dental
services, which is a new service we’ll be able to provide.
Nutrit ious food from a reliable source is a
challenge for people who are homeless. The
Zucker Community Kitchen offers a commercial space
to prepare more than 200,000 meals a year for homeless
and hungry people in our community. Importantly, the
space will be home to the RISE Program, an employment
training opportunity that helps highly motivated guests
prepare for jobs in commercial kitchens.
We’ve almost funded the new shelter 100%
through donat ions f rom the communit y.
With your help, we can move in debt free. Wish us
well with a special gift for the new shelter by visiting
www.one80place.org/donate.

DALE MAKES A 180!
Dale became homeless last year after losing his job
in a corporate lay-off. Dale had worked for the same
company for a number of years and the loss of his
job lead to severe depression. He found it hard to
complete his daily tasks and maintain suitable
living conditions. He decided it was time to change
his life and came to One80 Place. After a week of
working with his case manager, it became apparent
that Dale had a passion for cooking. He enrolled in
our ServSafe® program to learn the basics of food
preparation and safety. He passed the course and
almost immediately gained employment with a
local restaurant. Dale qualified for Rapid Rehousing
due to stable employment and moved into his
own apartment.
Congratulations, Dale! You turned your life around!
