The Open Gate program focuses on 18-30 year old homeless adults of any sexual orientation or gender identity, but with a fundamental commitment to provide a safe and welcoming place for LGBTQ+ young adults who generally have a difficult time at shelters and agencies. Safety means not only free from weapons, drugs, or alcohol, but also free from violent speech or action.
Open Gate is open to all young adults ages 18-30 in our area experiencing homelessness of any definition. We welcome ALL who fall under this category. We strive to create a safe, open, affirming environment for all our young adults regardless of where they are or how they came to be there. We truly believe that everyone is worthy of dignity and respect no matter what, and take care to reflect that.
Open Gate takes place on Sundays from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at Bering Memorial UCC.
Our Second Blessings Resale Shop raises money for the church and it’s ministries, through donations received from church members, family, friends, antique dealers and estate sales. Second Blessings also provides assistance to thousands of people in need of a helping hand through community referrals throughout the City of Houston. We also provide a variety of health equipment (crutches, wheelchairs, bathroom equipment). Health equipment is never sold, they are given away.
Some of the items we sell are jewelry, housewares, collectibles, silver, China, glassware, linens, furniture, lamps, pictures, frames, art, holiday items, electronics, small appliances and vintage clothing.
Current Hours of Operation:
Tuesday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
