Welcome To Lazarus House Ministries

The Feinstein Foundation will match a portion of all food and dollar donations received by Lazarus House between March 1 - April 31, 2010. Please consider a donation during this timeframe - the $1 Million Dollar Challenge continues to add value particularly this year given the difficult economy.

Lazarus House Ministries provides the broadest continuum of services to those in need in our area. Our guests are empowered to overcome poverty and crisis, to become more productive members of the community.

We help people take charge of their lives, rebuild their families and move beyond poverty, out of crisis and into the mainstream.

Since opening its doors as a temporary homeless shelter in 1983, Lazarus House Ministries has been fighting poverty from its base in Lawrence, MA, one of the poorest areas in the country, and the poorest in New England. Over the years our supporters have responded to the needs of this community by providing the financial support to expand our programs to provide the necessary services that allow us to provide comprehensive solutions that positively impact more and more people in need.
