As we reflect on last year, we want to thank everyone who joined us in prayer and giving—we know that we are not alone in this ministry; your partnership allows the Mission to provide care to the homeless regardless of what is going on in the world around us. Our goal is to continue to appear as lights in the world, holding forth the word of life. (Philippians 2:14-16)
Here is an overview of statistics from 2020:
Meals provided: 12,830
Nights of shelter: 4,026
New guests: 122
Years in operation: 114
We held chapel services led by staff and volunteers daily throughout the year, along with Bible-based classes and studies led by our staff. We met individually with everyone turning to us for help, and provided assistance and direction with their specific needs. Clothing and personal care items were distributed to those in need daily. Many volunteers joined us both to provide and serve meals.
Although we weren't sure what to expect early in the year, we ended 2020 with an increase in giving. We also had an abundance of donations of personal care items, food, and cleaning supplies. Thank you for giving generously! Your support makes it possible to provide physical and spiritual care every day. We appreciate your continued prayers and support this year.
