  • From the Director ~ Christmas 2017

    Dear Friend of the Mission, When you are homeless, there is no peace or joy living on the harsh streets of Philadelphia. There is only chaos, danger and strife. There are no halls to deck with boughs of holly, or Christmas trees to decorate. Ironically, for a person experiencing homelessness, the festive decorations and…

    Dear Friend of the Mission, Every day at the Mission is a mix of both blessings and challenges. The blessings that the Lord brings our way always amaze us.

  • Pounding the Pavement!

    Being in the New Life Program is hard work! After three months of preparation in the Foundations Phase of the Program and armed with a sharp resume, strong letters of reference and a top-notch self-marketing package, men enter the Careers Phase and begin their job search. For some men, especially those over 50 years…
