Profile
Helping Real People, With Real Struggles, Make Real Change, in Jesus' Name.
Like you, our deepest desire is to help homeless men change their situation, become gainfully employed, and return to being productive members of our community. Thus, we have set up our programs based on our shelter guests' abilities, needs, and struggles to help them overcome their difficult situation and return to independent living.
We do this through three main programs:
IN 2023, we maintained an 80% employment rate for men in our Employment Program, with 199 men getting full-time jobs!
Our Employment Program focuses on helping men to become gainfully employed, budget their money, pay off debts, and save money. While in this program, we seek to understand more about each man and his struggles. We help him to find productive ways of overcoming those struggles, whether it be drugs/alcohol, other addictions, emotional and mental health issues, and relationship conflicts. We seek to give each man the tools he needs to succeed.
Our Christian-Based Recovery Program addresses various addictions and life-controlling issues through biblical counseling, restoring relationships, and leading our guests toward finding their identity in Christ.
Our Medical / Mental Health Program focuses on working with men who cannot work due to the severity of their physical or mental health issues. Our first goal is to ensure they get the professional help they need to be as healthy as possible. Once a healthcare plan has been secured, we establish goals toward eventual independent living or, in some cases, assisted living options.
Our Food Service Program serves more than just the homeless men who stay at the Mission. Our lunch and supper time meals are open to ANYONE in the community 7 days a week; it is common to see men, women, and families who live in the community struggling to make ends meet come to the Mission for a hot, nutritious meal. The breakfast meal is for shelter guests only. You provide 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year through your donations.
The best part is that we get to share God's forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ and invite men to a new life in Christ. Many hearts, minds, and lives are changed.
All of this is just the broad strokes of what you help us to do. There is so much more we could share.
