The numbers tell the story of a great 2023! Your faithful support was a blessing to the hundreds of people who came to the Mission for help during the past year. People came to the Mission for many different reasons. It may have been a result of a broken relationship, a health issue, a problem with addiction, a poor choice, an emotional breakdown, loss of a job, or incarceration. Something happened in the lives of the people who came to us which left them without a place to live and a deep feeling of hopelessness. Whatever brought people to this point in their lives, your gifts made it possible for the Mission to be there for them. The Mission offered compassion and provided real solutions for real problems, giving them HOPE that can only be found through Jesus Christ! Together, we helped people discover the life God intended them to have. Thank you for your partnership in this ministry!
Dr. Bruce Metcalf, CEO, MCRM
