Our Story
Founded in 2007 by veteran Larry J. Tard, Christian Coffee House began with personal sacrifice opening a home, sharing vehicles, and using family resources to meet urgent needs. As word spread, partnerships grew and the mission expanded to include homeless neighbors, young people who left school, and those reentering after prison. Today, we remain a trusted, faith rooted nonprofit focused on dignity, stability, and opportunity.
