Purpose

Friendship House is a faith-based organization reaching out to all those in need, regardless of faith. We strive to embody God's love and to treat everyone who comes through our doors with caring, respect and dignity.

Our mission is to do the work of Jesus Christ, providing relief, respect and renewal to Peoria's most vulnerable individuals and families. Through the simple gesture of a free meal, a clean shirt, a safe place to learn, Friendship House offers the hope of a new start to the least, the last, and the lost.
