We stand on the shoulders of those who, over a century ago, saw the crucial need to create The Shelter for anyone in our community who was hungry, homeless, and needing help to get back on their feet.

Since then, with compassion, respect and trust, we have been here, around-the-clock, every day-of-the-year – helping those who have nowhere else to turn.

The Shelter is where our work began.

Then, over the years, The Mission has evolved to bring our community closer together in seven distinct, yet interconnected and vital ways:

• The Shelter
• Behavioral Health Center
• Vocational Development
• The New Direction Program
• Supportive Housing
• Thrift Store
• Food Pantry

Our ultimate goal is to help put an end to homelessness – one person at a time.
