Ways We Can Help

Shelter Services

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. Guests can sign up for beds, eat three meals a day, take showers, and pick out fresh clothes as needed. Counseling from our staff is also available to discuss options regarding our recovery programs or other service providers in the area.

The Mission's Day Shelter is the place the homeless call "home" for the day. We serve between 200-300 individuals daily and we provide 100 beds daily.

Bread of Life provides a safe and compassionate environment in which men (18+ years of age) can eat, relax, shower, and sleep.

We activate our Emergency Shelter in response to Severe Weather. We use every available space for mats on the floor and provide showers, warm clothing, and hot meals during the coldest nights of the year.

Enhanced Shelter

Our Enhanced Shelter model provides 24/7 access and comprehensive on-site support services, such as case management, counseling, and access to showers and laundry. This helps residents exit homelessness and move toward stable housing, rather than just providing overnight accommodation. This model removes barriers to exiting homelessness by offering a continuous environment of safety, dignity, and crucial resources for stabilization. Participants must be willing to live clean and sober and engage in case management within a structured yet grace-filled environment.

LifePath Program

 

We believe that healing from past trauma and addiction means we must treat the whole person – physical, mental, spiritual, and social. We teach knowledge and skills that enable them to lead healthy lives while providing for themselves and their families. We consider it the ultimate success when a graduate has a relationship with God, lives in a place of their own, works a living wage job, and is involved in a nurturing church community.
