We Need Your Help
for a New Year of Hope!
As we begin a new year together, we must be ready to help our struggling neighbors in need. Here at the Mission, we’ll be preparing healthy meals and safe places to sleep. And we’ll be giving thousands a way to discover the incredible power of God’s love. We expect greater numbers than ever to turn to us, though, and we can’t respond without your generous support.
Help us start this year off with a foundation of compassion for our brothers and sisters who suffer. Help us feed and clothe and lift up every person who turns to us as their only escape from despair. Make your donation today and turn your generosity into real hope for a neighbor in need.
They can find a path to recovery!
