It's a chance to know you're not forgotten.

The leaves may be changing, but one thing doesn’t change at The Mission: the need is still here.

As we head into fall, we’re preparing for cooler nights, holiday meals, and the increased needs of our neighbors. From our kitchen to our recovery programs, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes.

And we’re getting ready. ❤️
