Programs & Services

With a decrease in affordable housing and an increase in inflation and standard of living, the rural poor have a tough time making ends meet. Add to that the recent decrease in jobs an even greater number are only hanging on paycheck to paycheck. Even the smallest unexpected event or illness is enough to put them on the street. The old idea that people are homeless because they are lazy is simply untrue. Families once considered middle class have recently experienced job loss, and home foreclosures. Many, while searching for jobs, have found themselves with no place to live.

Once a family or individual is living at the Mission, they begin to work with a case manger to help set goals and find permanent housing. One of the most important things we can do is help those people begin to get involved in the community. They are encouraged to attend worship services, classes to finish high school diploma, community groups, and to volunteer. Giving back, even when it seems you have little to give creates a positive attitude and willingness to become involved.

The Meeting Place Mission provides assistance to all that come to our doors. The homeless are helped on a first come, first served basis because unfortunately space is limited. By providing much needed funds you allow more people the opportunity to end their homelessness.
Your donations also help provide alternative assistance and contacts to anyone we cannot directly serve.
We work closely with other like-minded organizations in order to ensure physical, mental, legal, social, educational, recovery, and                                  spiritual needs are attended.
Our programs operate on a four point plan:

Extensive Assessment

Developing Plan of Action,

Accountability

Goal Maintenance

All parts of the plan are overseen by our team including the director, case manager and peer support specialist.
