A Call To Action From Anna
This winter has been especially busy for Open Door Mission with our shelter sleeping over capacity since the Fall and we need your help! We are actively recruiting both employees and volunteers. Please consider taking time during your next church service to show this video of our CEO, Anna Valeria-Iseman at our YouTube channel. If you would prefer a higher resolution version of our video or if you would like to schedule a time for us to visit your congregation in person, please reach out to Chirs Scribani at cscribani@opendoormission.com.
Thank you for your consideration!
Help Support Our New Residents
This Fall, we opened 24 permanent supportive housing units for formerly homeless individuals. Our new apartments are fully furnished but some of our residents are lacking some basic items. If you can help provide some basics, please click on our AMAZON WISH LIST Your help will ensure our residents will get off to a great start in their new home!
