Keystone Mission Innovation Center for Homeless & Poverty | Providing meals & hope daily in Scranton
The Scranton Innovation Center for Homeless & Poverty, operated by Keystone Mission, is a faith-based nonprofit offering vital support to individuals experiencing homelessness in Scranton. Since 2005, Keystone Mission has worked to be a catalyst for hope, providing a pathway toward healing, dignity and transformation. The Scranton center on West Olive Street offers daily services designed to meet both immediate needs and long-term goals.
Essential Daily Services & Emergency Support
The Scranton Innovation Center provides breakfast and lunch every day, distributes weekend meals, and offers emergency food and clothing assistance. During periods of extreme winter weather, it operates as an emergency shelter. The center also helps individuals obtain government IDs, access local agencies for mental health, medical and recovery services, and enroll in programs that focus on personal development and stability.
Faith-Based Mission for Lasting Change
Rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Keystone Mission’s programs support five pillars of transformation that guide participants from survival to success. The center serves as a safe haven and stepping stone for people who are ready to rebuild their lives. Keystone Mission’s additional facilities include a day center in Wilkes-Barre and a residential Transformation Center in Luzerne County.
