Melissa came to the Mission for groceries but found community, prayer, Bible study, and hope along the way. Her story is a beautiful reminder that meeting an immediate need can open the door to something much greater. ❤️ Read her story: missiondc.org/stories/meliss…

Moving from survival to stability takes more than a meal or a bed. It takes opportunity, consistency and support. Through workforce development, we help men gain skills, confidence and the tools to pursue meaningful employment and a more stable future.

This Labor Day, the men @ the Mission gathered around a decorated table for a special meal, fellowship, laughter, & gratitude. As we closed out summer, we paused to rest & remember: God is good, and every good gift comes from Him. ❤️ (James 1:17)
