I had hopes that the negative reviews about this place were not accurate. After speaking with the site administrator, I'm not so sure. I've been a born again christian since 1990. I recently lost my job and found myself homeless. I have no drug dependency or alcohol issues, no criminal history, I'm a property owner and have been a contributing member of society my entire adult life. I had been prayerfully considering going back into ministry for a while now. My circumstances caused me to consider volunteering full or part time at the mission, hoping that in exchange for my work I might have access to a shower and a place to park my truck while looking for a part time job. I was told that was an impossibility. I didn't need a bed or even meals. In fact, I was even prepared to make a large donation of food to the shelter that I have in storage, over 500lbs of beans and rice etc. All I needed was a place to shower and sleep overnight without worry of getting towed. Denied. I understand rules and policies, they exist for a reason. I also understand common sense and common decency, and most importantly, the love of Jesus Christ. "By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." 1 John 3 I wasn't looking for a handout, but was actually hoping to lend a hand, and offer myself full time to what I consider a worthy cause. 40 or more hours a week of my time, for a shower and a safe place to park. Oh well, God be praised. When one door closes, another one opens. If you read this Brother Matt, I sincerely apologize for hanging up the phone on you. I was rude, love is not rude. And I lovingly suggest, that you reconsider just what it is you are trying to accomplish at the Mission, and reevaluate your policies. Not every homeless person is a drug addict or a criminal. I'm quite comfortable in my truck, but other people living in their cars who haven't completely given up yet, and are seeking employment, still might need a warm bed now and again, a warm embrace, or a word of encouragement, hope. Wouldn't it be better to assist them now, before they do give up? What would Jesus do for them?

Great food, and amazing staff!! I've been eating lunch and dinner there a lot because I don't have the money for groceries and need to save where I can, they offer full meals and serve seconds if there's enough left. If you're in a tough spot I definitely recommend

This place is understaffed. Has been for months. I lost my job because I wasn't able to shower. They do not provide daily showers. Or even provide a time or a date that they will. I have traveled here several times after I was asured the showers would be open on a certain day only to find out that they're still closed on that day. Understand that they do provide showers the staff is really nice. You're just really lucky if it's open or not. This has been going on for months. And if you're a woman the showers have been closed pretty much all winter. The exception is it'll be open for an hour a day. Some days but nobody knows what days those are nor are they posted.
