Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

A faith-based emergency shelter and crisis response ministry aimed at meeting the basic needs of food, shelter and clothing and transforming lives through the love of Jesus. Our mission is to serve people who are on the journey from homeless and hurting to whole and healthy.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provide lodging, meals, clothing, and assistance to men, women and children in the community.

  • Emergency Shelter: We provide a safe, warm place to sleep for those seeking to escape the elements. Along with the actual shelter for the individual, we also make showers and laundry available as well. We also offer longer-term shelter in the form of transitional housing. The only restrictions that would prohibit someone from accessing our shelter services is if they have been using drugs, drinking alcohol or are a registered sex offender above level 1. Continued on Schedule O...Provide Meals:Our dining services are operated by trained and certified managers and cooks. We provide three nutritious meals onsite to those who stay with us and sack lunch-style meals for men who stay with us but who are unable to be onsite at designated meal times. Our dining services also provide meals to two other organizations in town, a local shelter and a downtown homeless outreach center.Various other services:In addition to meeting the basic needs of food and shelter, our case management services focus on helping the individual to a place of self-sufficiency through programs tailored to meet their individual needs. We help with such things as obtaining ID, mental health and substance abuse counseling and treatment, employment assistance, housing navigation and assistance and various other services, all in a non-discriminatory setting.Relapse Prevention Program (Genesis):Provides a structured one-year curriculum that gives men the time they need to study the science of addiction and work to recover from addiction. During their time in Genesis, men participate in a shelter work-study program and are accompanied to off-site activities and support.Passport Program started 10/01/2023. We partner with the VA to help veterans overcome barriers to permanent housing to move forward on pathway to homelessness. This is part of the emergency program.

    Expenses $2,977,131 · Revenue $291,743

  • Operate Thrift Stores:Operating Thrift stores are one of our main revenue streams due to sales of inventory. In addition to the sales of product, we also are a primary provider of free clothing and other household essentials to those in need within our community. Other agencies make referrals to our store in order to provide their clients with these products in order to meet basic needs such as clothing, beds, and cooking utensils. All product is donated from the community and either sold to assist in the operation of the organization, given away to those in need, or used internally for day-to-day operation of the organization.

    Expenses $1,150,268 · Revenue $131,256

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
