River of Life Mission

Each day hundreds of needy people receive help at the Mission. People from all walks of life come through the doors: the homeless, the elderly, and the addicted. Add to the mix those who are mentally ill, the forgotten veteran, the disabled individual, families with children, the aging prostitute and those recently released from prison. They come to receive meals, showers, clothing, spiritual help, or assistance from a social worker. Some come simply to use the bathroom or to take a shower. Many are lost and invisible people who somehow slipped through the cracks. We call them our guests and we extend our hearts and hands to them. We offer hope, encouragement and practical assistance to needy people. They are blessed to receive clothing, household items, bedding, hygienic products, and a home cooked meal. There is no charge for our services. The Mission distributes canned food for many hungry families on limited income. Homeless people do not receive food boxes since they can eat 3 meals daily at the mission. The food boxes are for low income non homeless elderly, handicapped or families with children
