Dear friends and supporters of the Mission
During this special time of the year my heart is filled with gratitude for our faithful supporters. Your partnership in our ministry has allowed us to provide comprehensive life transforming programs to hundreds of homeless women and children each year. There is nothing better than helping someone who is homeless restore their hope for the future, get their needs met, overcome major barriers/obstacles in their lives and live independently again without recidivism. This is our vision, and with your help together we can make this possible for those we serve.
As we move into the new year, it is important to count our blessings. The Mission is helping more people who are homeless, and we have returned to our pre-Covid occupancy level with increasing demand for our services. Taking care of our neighbors has always been a priority, as we continue to provide a food pantry open to anyone in need, Thanksgiving and Christmas give-outs to the community, and our Resale Shop stocked with low price items to make the average budget go further.
Our ministry has been blessed and grown these past 61 years, but there is still work to do. God has tasked us with helping more women and children in the future, so plans are underway to build another dormitory. Once completed our daily resident count will increase from 120 to 160. Construction should begin during the third quarter of next year with move in scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.
2022 has been challenging financially with revenue under budget, and inflation impacting our expenses, but we're praying you will continue to support us financially, and in prayer as we enter the
new year.
In His Service,
Richard Hill
Executive Director
