Roadshow

egm Community Roadshow

The egm Community Roadshow is bringing the Mission to neighborhoods across Snohomish County this September. At each stop, you can meet the egm team, hear how egm engages the community to alleviate poverty, and see the StepUp Bed — the shelter bed our neighbors helped design. Whether you're a longtime supporter or just curious about who we are, come say hi — no registration, no pressure, just conversation. Find us at any of these four community events:

Meet The Mission

Meet the Mission: See Hope in Action

You've heard about the work — come experience it. Meet the Mission is a free two-hour walking tour led by the people who do this work every day: the shelter, kitchen, chapel, and classrooms our neighbors rely on, our recovery and work programs, and Smith Campus, where our expansion breaks ground this fall. Small groups, and no fundraising appeal — not at the end of the tour, and not afterward.

Upcoming Tour Dates

  • Saturday, September 26 · 9:00–11:00 AM
  • Saturday, October 31 · 9:00–11:00 AM
  • Saturday, November 21 · 9:00–11:00 AM
  • Tours begin at the egm Admin Offices, 2222 52nd St SE, Everett
