What We Do

Providing
help & hope.

We care for every person knowing all are made in the image of God.

Our Approach

Help. Heart. Home.

For over a century, our work has begun with meeting the basic needs of food, shelter and clothing to those in crisis. But through the commitment of many faithful friends we have been able to give so much more.

Step 1

Finding Help

Help is where we begin, by ensuring essential needs are met. Whether escaping domestic violence, addictions, sudden loss of housing, or freezing temperatures, every individual in crisis requires immediate access to safety, food, shelter, and clothing.

Step 2

Healing hearts

Heart is where we begin the difficult process of restoration. Whether overcoming trauma, facing past mistakes, or planning for a better future, we set individualized plans and goals with every resident, so that they can own their better future.

Step 3

Empowering home

Home is the ultimate hope for every person who seeks refuge at The City Mission. Whether seeking a physical house, a relational community, or a sense of purpose, we empower residents with the catalysts they need to transition into self-sustainable lives.

Our Programs

Christ-centered care.

We create individualized, comprehensive programs to assist residents in building their stabilized and independent futures.
