The past two weeks have unexpectedly been among our busiest of the year. Any donations of our most requested food items and pantry items would be deeply appreciated at this time. Our amazon list of just food items can be found in the comments.

This week marks the 3-month anniversary since one of our supported employment program participants went to work for a local substance use treatment center. In one year this incredible individual went from addiction to helping others navigate recovery. For 116 years our lantern has served as a beacon of hope for those seeking restoration.

You can help keep that lantern of hope lit. There is a little more than 2 weeks left to purchase your raffle ticket. Purchase your tickets today!

Last week a generous donor dropped off more than a dozen pairs of lightly used men's tennis shoes. Unfortunately, he left the shoes on the sidewalk at our front door after hours. The shoes were taken by a single individual and then sold down the street. Please help us best serve our community by dropping off donations during drop-off hours, 7:30am - 4:00pm, M-F.

The Mission is in desperate need of gently worn Men's tennis shoes, summer clothing (especially men's shirts and shorts), and men and women's underwear.

With a recent increase in the number of guests visiting the Mission and accessing our food pantry, we find ourselves in need of spring/summer clothing donations, shelf-stable foods, and everyday items like bottled water, deodorant, paper plates/bowls, and plasticware.
