You can change a life and help someone get off the streets today!

When you’re experiencing hunger, you can’t think about change.
All you can think about is survival.

Everett Gospel Mission engages with the community to alleviate poverty. Each $2.05 you give helps feed one man, woman or child experiencing hunger or homelessness in Snohomish County.

It Starts with a Meal but Becomes More

Addressing someone’s hunger is the first step to change and to helping them get off the streets.

Meals

A healthy meal fills empty stomachs and is often what first brings someone to the Mission and builds positive relationships with our volunteers and staff.

Finding Joy at the Mission

For years, Anita endured abuse from her husband. Not only did he physically beat her, but he also withheld money so she couldn’t buy groceries.

Anita and her children often experienced hunger, sometimes only eating because of a compassionate neighbor.

Eventually someone told the police what was going on, and an officer told her “You have to speak up because it’s not good for you and your kids. If he’s abusing you, he’s going to keep doing it unless you speak up.”

So Anita made the brave choice to tell police what was happening, and her husband was arrested.

But, he had been the only income earner in her house. And Anita couldn’t work, so she couldn’t pay rent.

Anita and her family were facing homelessness.

She was desperate to avoid sleeping in her car or on the streets, so Anita called information and found out about Everett Gospel Mission.

When she got here, Anita couldn’t believe how many blessings partners like you made possible. She and her kids had food every day and a safe place to live—as well as any other things they needed, like clothes for her kids.

And when Christmas came, her kids were overjoyed.

“I had never ben able to give them a present before,” Anita says. “but the Mission made sure that every child here got a gift. My kids were really happy. I’m so grateful.”

Anita’s life has continued to change since she came to the Mission. Her case manager is helping her find housing, and soon she and her kids will live in their own apartment.

She knows it was only possible because of the generosity from people like you.

“Without you, I wouldn’t be here. I could’ve ended up on the streets or without my kids. Thank you.”

You can give this same gift to someone else before this year ends!

Your $2.05 helps feed one person.

But when you give, you give more than a meal. Your gift also declares and demonstrates the love of Jesus, builds trust and establishes relationships that lead to lasting change!

Because of you!

Each $2.05 you give will provide a meal. Each meal can be the start of a changed life, off the streets!

At the Mission, we love Jesus and He is the reason we do everything we do. We believe He has called us to help and love all of our neighbors regardless of age, gender, race or religion.

“For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.”

– Psalm 9:18
