Programs

The Mission helps mend lives and create a bridge between people of faith and people who have lost hope. Each year the Mission provides more than 120,000 meals and more than 24,000 nights of lodging to people in need. A hot, delicious meal served with loving kindness can lead a homeless individual to seek the more in-depth help they need to change.

When a homeless man or woman is ready for the next step in their journey toward health and independence, City Gospel Mission staff and volunteers are there to help. Recovery programs, case management, counseling, and classes are just a few of the many services available to our guests.

It takes dedication, hard work, and God’s healing power to overcome life-controlling issues such as drug addictions. Mission staff and volunteers walk alongside the hurting and homeless each step of the way. We never close and we never give up on anyone because God doesn’t.
