Sioux City, Iowa · Since 1938

Dignity today. Hope for tomorrow.

We walk alongside neighbors facing homelessness and hardship, with shelter, meals, practical care, and the good news that every life matters to God.

What we do

Our mission in four faithful steps

Everything we do points toward practical relief and lasting transformation: meeting urgent needs while inviting people into relationship with Christ.

Feed the Hungry

Hot meals 365 days a year, served three times a day in our Agape Dining Hall.

Clothe the Poor

Thrift vouchers and partnerships help neighbors choose clothing that fits their season and story.

Shelter the Homeless

Safe, warm beds for men, women, children, and fathers with children.

Lead Them to Christ

Pastoral care, Bible teaching, and discipleship that equips guests for a new path forward.

Impact you can see

Love in action, by the numbers.

Numbers never tell the whole story, but they show the scale of love-in-action our donors and volunteers make possible.

Generosity in action

Your gifts become warm beds and filled plates.

Your gifts don't sit in a warehouse of good intentions. They become warm beds, filled plates, voucher visits at the thrift store, and chaplaincy for someone asking hard questions in hard moments.

We take no government funding and we are not a United Way agency. The Mission is supported entirely by individuals and other private sources.
