ABOUT JESUS HOUSE
MISSION, VISION & HISTORY.
We inspire generosity to feed the hungry and provide hope for those suffering from addiction.
We envision the long-term empowerment of people through hope, recovery, and transformation.
Jesus House opened in 1973 in a storefront building at Reno and Walker Avenues by Sister Ruth Wynne and Sister Betty Adams. In the early years, our location often changed. Still, Jesus House was always on the front line providing those in need with food, clothing, shelter, and spiritual encouragement. We have no profit motive, only a strong desire to meet the needs of our suffering neighbors and help those who have nowhere else to turn. Love has always and will continue to live here!

We hold ourselves accountable for the quality and success of our programs, the stewardship of our resources, and the commitments made to our residents, volunteers, donors, and the community at large.

OUR GENEROUS PARTNERS.
It takes a powerful network and community to provide a free addiction recovery program and free support for people experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty in Oklahoma City!
We connect residents with other nonprofits, so they can receive resources and practical solutions to navigate their specific challenges.
Through our programs, education, and partners we offer opportunities to people who may not have anywhere else to turn.
