A wonderful Christian outreach for a needy segment of the local population. Clients can enjoy a delicious breakfast and a hearty lunch while resting, showering, or laundering their belongings. Volunteers provide a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and safe.

An incredible resource for the ever growing homeless population, and a valuable resource for the outreach community as well. The need is great as the housing market has become unsustainable, and unreachable for even the majority of the average working class. What a great job this group of people have done for this area.

Great people doing great things. Thank you for what you do for the people of Laconia that are less fortunate. And you do it with a smile

I am appreciative of this place; my ex has been homeless and heavily using heroin, I give hope everyday that he finds the help that he needs and I know there is many resources there to do so. Thank God.

i went for an AA meeting but learned about this place by reading info on their website. they do a ton of great work with the homeless community, meals, showers, clothing, places to sleep. these are good people who practice what they preach, which seems to be increasingly more rare in this world. kudos to them. highly recommended.

Couldn't ask for a greater place to come to for food, some refreshments and or a snack.. They are right, it's not quite a soup kitchen nor a restaurant either. It's a place most of us around here in the area (Laconia) that are in an unfortunate predicament(s) in life. It maybe short term or may have been for a long time now.. Know they can come to seek food, shower, and have some laundry washed. Thanks to the warmth of a few people that take time out of their lives to help , volunteer their time and resources to us less fortunate souls like myself and a whole lot more. To be there and lend an ear or a shoulder to help us out in every way they possibly can.. Thank you so very much Dave and Dawn longval and staff at Isaiah 61 Cafe.. There is to many to list them all... but without you and your help, WE would not have what we all could consider a beautiful bright spot in a sometimes dismal day.. Thank you all very much... Sean Miles.
