Urgent Financial Need
We need your prayers and any help you can give. We just found out that an $86,500 foundation grant we were actually awarded isn’t going to be coming anytime soon, if at all. This is no one’s fault – please see this letter for an explanation of what happened. We’ve also had some other…

Dear Friend of the Mission, We need your prayers and your help at this time to keep doing all that we do to restore homeless men to society as productive, contributing members of our community.

From the Director ~ Summer 2018
Dear Friend of the Mission, Your gifts on these hot summer days continue to feed, shelter and clothe the homeless men who live at the Mission. Homelessness never takes a vacation.

From the Director ~ August 2017
Dear Friend of the Mission, You often hear me say that the Mission provides homeless men a hand-up and not just a handout. You can never go wrong with compassion, and there is nothing wrong with handing out food to a hungry and homeless man surviving in downtown Philadelphia. But it is always far…

From the Director ~ June 2017
Dear Friend of the Mission, Every day at the Mission is a mix of both blessings and challenges. The blessings that the Lord brings our way always amaze us.
