Be the reason someone feels at home this Christmas
This Christmas, more people than ever are facing homelessness. As the housing crisis deepens, Emmanuel City Mission is seeing a rapid rise in visitors looking for support and care. For many of our visitors, Emmanuel City Mission is not just a place they come to grab a warm meal—it’s the closest thing they have to a family.
Our mission is to ensure that no one feels alone this Christmas. Through your generous support, we can provide a warm meal, a safe place to rest, and a caring community for those who need it most.
But we can’t do it without you.
As the demand for our services continues to grow, your donations are essential to keeping our doors open and ensuring that everyone who turns to us has a place to belong this Christmas.
Christmas at Emmanuel City Mission
Glen, one of our dedicated staff members at Emmanuel City Mission, has seen first-hand the importance of creating a sense of family and belonging for those who have nowhere else to turn, especially during Christmas.
As someone who has walked alongside countless individuals seeking refuge, Glen knows how vital it is to offer more than just a meal—it’s about offering love, connection, and a place to belong.
"When I walk into Emmanuel City Mission at Christmas time, I feel like I'm stepping into a big family living room. Bringing my own kids here reminds me of the true spirit of the season—love, compassion, and togetherness. For those who have nowhere else to go, Emmanuel City Mission becomes their home, a place where they are welcomed with open arms and where they belong."
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.
~ Matthew 25:35
