JUSTICE & SERVICE

Room In The Inn

Several times each year, South Hills opens its doors to provide meals, shelter, and genuine hospitality for neighbors experiencing homelessness. Together, we create a place where every guest is welcomed with dignity, compassion, and hope.

Every Wednesday we welcome 5 guests.

Every season, dozens of volunteers make that possible.

Every act of hospitality matters.

What is Room in the Inn?

Room in the Inn is a collaborative ministry of more than 15 Fort Worth congregations offering hospitality to people experiencing homelessness.

During the hottest and coldest months of the year, participating churches open their buildings to provide a welcoming place to eat, rest, sleep, and experience meaningful community.

Why It Matters

Hospitality changes lives.
