History:
The Day Center was created in 1986 by a group of concerned Tulsans seeking to provide a safe place for people who were homeless to spend the day.

Originally founded by Tulsa Metropolitan Ministry (TMM), the Day Center opened in January 1986 in a renovated warehouse at 210 N. Denver .

In 1990, the Night Shelter opened to provide overnight shelter for women, individuals with mental or physical illness and men over 55.

In January 1995, the Day Center moved into a brand new 24,000 square foot facility.

On June 1, 1999 the TMM Day Center for the Homeless became the Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless, Inc. The Day Center is a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit organization.

Every Day at the Day Center:
An average of 400 people seek shelter and services at the Day Center .

Eight case managers work one on one with clients to remove barriers to self-sufficiency.

The Nurses' Clinic provides urgent care, TB testing, vision screening, health education and referrals to other health care resources.

We seek to protect the dignity of each person by providing food, warmth, shelter and safety to meet immediate and pressing needs.
