Guest Services - The Mission provides daily emergency subsistence services of food, shelter and clothing to meet the immediate needs of those who are homeless and/or living in poverty. Guest Services strives to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness through comprehensive case management services and programs geared to address common root factors of homelessness.

The Mission offers core programs to address these issues which include mental health referrals, a savings program that allows an individual to save money for permanent housing, and academic and work search programs that provide assistance in obtaining employment.

Recovery, sober living, and discipleship are the three areas central to the programs. Recovery activities include individual and group counseling, education, and life skills such as parenting.
