The Fieldhouse for the Homeless - 5712 US Hwy 49 S

The Fieldhouse for the Homeless - 5712 US Hwy 49 S WE ARE THE FIELDHOUSE FOR THE HOMELESS. WE MEET THE PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE!! The Fieldhouse is a turning point, a central source of life-changing care.

WE ARE A GOD CENTERED DAY, NIGHT AND EMERGENCY SHELTER OPPERATING IN THE HATTIESBURG MISSISSIPPI AREA SINCE OCTOBER 2008. We will provide escape from heat or cold, a place to rest, access to bathrooms, to laundry, showers, job search, health screenings, housing assistance, ID assistance and other services home-less men and women need to escape life on the street. There are harrowing, personal stories of the street life of the homeless. We have taken an unflinching look at the human experience of homelessness and we are responding by opening The Fieldhouse Day Resource Center. Our goal is to make homelessness a season of life, not a way of life.

This summer brought unprecedented heat, posing serious challenges for many, especially those without stable shelter. Amid these harsh conditions, our local community demonstrated remarkable solidarity and compassion.

The Boy Scouts played a crucial role by providing water throughout the entire summer. Their efforts ensured that people had access to hydration, a vital necessity during extreme heat waves. Meanwhile, the Fieldhouse extended its support by offering cold and frozen water supplies specifically for individuals experiencing homelessness, along with ample food provisions. These initiatives not only addressed immediate physical needs but also embodied a deeper commitment to community care.

Helping others remains a fundamental principle guiding such efforts. The core values of service—“Duty to God and country, duty to other people, duty to self”—echo strongly in these acts of kindness. By putting these duties into practice, volunteers and organizations reaffirm the importance of collective responsibility and empathy in times of crisis.

In essence, this summer’s response to the extreme heat showcased the power of community action and the enduring spirit of service. It reminds us that in facing environmental challenges, supporting one another is not only a necessity but a profound expression of our shared humanity.
