About The ARCHES Day Center 
At our Day Center, nearly 1,000 people who have no other address receive their mail. This includes vital items such as prescriptions, letters from Veterans Services, employment information, and service-related communications. But it’s more than just mail—here, they also have access to washing machines and dryers, good food, and a safe place to escape the scorching heat or the bitter cold.
The ARCHES Day Center offers an array of essential services to support homeless individuals. Guests can access meals, bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities and secure mailboxes. Hygiene supplies and pet food are also available. Beyond meeting basic needs, the center connects guests with critical resources, including medical care, mental health and substance use disorder treatment, permanent housing support and shelter opportunities. Additionally, staff can support guests in applying for benefits such as social security and food assistance benefits and no-cost cellular phones.
