Victory Center Ministries 505 9th Avenue South, Clinton, IA 52732

"This “homeless shelter” is not what you think it is. Some of the things going on there and practices they do are straight up illegal. One of the workers admitted they came there for help and has lived there 7 years now and have had bed bugs the entire time. The power trip with the staff and the pastor or “apostle” is insane. The pastor himself even straight up admitted to me vocally that his staff treats people differently because of their age. These staff also treated me differently then they would other people. I’m not the only white person in there that noticed it either as my roommates commented on it as well.I’m not gonna mention everything that happened here I witnessed but I will say stay away from this place. The experiences here where bad and traumatizing enough that I never want to step foot on church grounds again."

"Awesome staff, friendly residents and a great pastor. Might be the best church in Clinton."

"They kick people out & the guys Flirt with the women with kids & I don't think they should be running the victory center pantry I think it should be a women or The Pastor himself they are very very rude the guys that stay at the victory center & the guys that think they run the pantry they also need to put lines on the parking lot & & not be bossy to people how to park"

"This is a good place to go if you need food. They have bread of all kinds that you can request when you walk in the door. They also have baked goods to choose from. They have hot meals every day at lunch time and an evening meal. I'm not sure of the times but they are listed on the sign out front. They also have church services for those who would like to attend. It's a great place for when you are in need."

"They are very helpful yes they are strict with the rules but they need to be because it makes you a better person. I would stay there again if I ever had to. They helped me become a stronger person. God bless everyone at both shelter's"
