The Jesus Center (at the site of the former Icehouse) is a non-profit organization, "offering hope and hospitality in the name of Jesus." It has been helping to feed hungry people since 1980. "In response to the complexity of homelessness, hunger and poverty, we work with our community to restore those suffering from isolation to community integration." The center offers breakfast and dinner Monday through Saturday and breakfast only on Sunday mornings.. Showers and grooming are available for men and women. The Resource Center provides access to two Resource Specialists for assistance and referrals, a phone, computers, outside service providers, and the low cost "Cafe Connect." Jesus Center participants also have access three days a week to the "Free Store" and are given $25 credit towards clothing, and other items, in the store. In 2006, the center began handing out meal cards to businesses and citizens of Chico in the hope that those in need will be reminded of the center's accommodations. The Jesus Center is located at 1297 Park Avenue.
