As we look back over 30 years of InnerMission, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for every person who has been part of this journey.

What started with a desire to love our community well has grown into a mission of helping people move from relief to development to sustainability.

❤️ RELIEF — When someone is hungry, in crisis, or facing an emergency, we meet the immediate need through our pantry, community meals, shelter and outreach.

🌱 DEVELOPMENT — But relief is only the beginning. Through relationships, mentoring and Thrive, we walk alongside people as they discover their strengths, develop life skills, set goals and overcome barriers.

🌳 SUSTAINABILITY— Our goal is lasting change: seeing people become stable, confident and equipped to build a healthy future for themselves and their families.

Relief meets the need.
Development builds capacity.
Sustainability creates lasting change.

That has been the heart of InnerMission for 30 years.

I’m so thankful for every volunteer, donor, church, organization and friend who has helped make this work possible.

30 years of serving.
30 years of relationships.
30 years of changed lives.
And we’re just getting started! ❤️
