Daybreak is a day/resource center that provides services to individuals facing the immediate crisis of homelessness. In Little Rock, Arkansas and Macon, Georgia, Depaul USA provides a welcoming place where individuals can get a hot meal, relax, wash up and do laundry, and speak with a social worker and the services they need to move toward lives of stability and dignity.

Daybreak works on removing obstacles in a person's life by establishing a relationship with them, giving them a place to rest, offering services to feel renewed, and connecting them to other community resources in order to help them move from being homeless to a life with increased stability which is a long road, but with the help of a supportive system it can be transforming!

This organization is near and dear to the hearts of members at temple Beth Israel. There are many of us who regularly volunteer during the week, as well as help fundraise and participate in the the greater Macon Sleep out.

Each year around the High Holidays, we are provided the opportunity to help those in need in Macon. We ask that any attendee's of HHD services please fill one or more grocery bags with non-perishable items. The proceeds of which all go to a local organization called "Loaves and Fishes." Loaves and Fishes is a faith-based, nonprofit organization, originally started in 1967 in the basement of Tattnal square Presbyterian church. in addition to providing personal hygiene kits, clothing, and emergency prescription assistance, they serve almost 250 families and individuals every month. That's approximately 80,000 meals!
