Our Day Shelter is open Monday - Friday from 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

When someone comes to the Mission their first stop is Emergency Services to meet their immediate physical needs.

Counseling from our staff is also available to discuss options regarding our recovery programs or other service providers in the area.

Chapel

We believe in having a relationship with Christ, and we offer evening chapel services to our interested guests. Services are at 6:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Evening chapel is facilitated by various Puget Sound churches and mission organizations. 

Attending services are never mandatory for our guests, but they are always available to those that find comfort in attending them.
