David is cooking a heartwarming lamb dish for our Easter banquet for the homeless, made possible by last week's incredible 75-pound lamb donation!

David is installing a backsplash on the kitchen wall before the new cabinets are installed. It is the next phase in our kitchen upgrade project.

Let's come together to celebrate Resurrection Day with our homeless friends in a spirit of hope and joy! The mission will host a special banquet on Easter Sunday, 4/5/26, featuring a soul-nourishing meal, an inspiring speaker, and precious time with our friends.

Our dear friend and colleague, Carole, has decided to retire. We enjoyed hosting a goodbye, retirement party for her at the Mission. Thank you Carole for your years of ministry to so many at the Mission! We will miss you!!

Please comment below to give her your congratulations and well wishes.

Clint and members of the rotary club finished the new serving counter in the dining room. It was installed this past weekend. They did an excellent job!

Marilyn, Rosa, and a team of dedicated volunteers are working this week to bring the Christmas spirit to the Mission. The gym and dining room are being transformed, complete with twinkling lights, festive decorations, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Landen and Dax came by today. They are students at McCallie and will be returning next week to serve hot chocolate during the shelter meal. An announcement was made in the MCallie chapel asking students for hot chocolate supply donations. In one week, the students donated all of these supplies! We are grateful for McCallie's compassion for the homeless in Chattanooga!
