Calling All Volunteers!

Pictured here is the American Baptist Women's Ministries group who volunteered at the Monongahela Hidden Treasures Store on March 7.

Thirteen ladies sorted and priced clothing and bric-brac. The group is planning on making this a monthly project. They would like to encourage other women's organizations to prayerfully consider doing a project like this; the time went fast and they accomplished a lot for the store. 

Donations From the Whole Family

We love community involvement at City Mission!  Pictured here is Michael Tyhonas, a high honors student at California High School, sorting donated toiletries for the women of Avis Arbor and putting them into colorful zippered bags. This is a family charitable activity ---Michael's mother Michelle, who owns a nail salon, offers a $5 off coupon to anyone who donates to the ongoing project.

"The Gathering" Benefits City Mission

For the Community Service Phase of Christopher Freitag-Shaw's Senior Project, he arranged an event titled "The Gathering" that promoted togetherness and unity for the community. It included inspirational music from groups within the community as well as Donna Bussey from City Mission, who spoke on the Mission's plans for its Veterans Shelter Project. Donations for the Veteran's Shelter were raised through a free-will offering and the selling of refreshments. Thank you, Christopher for organizing this entertaining and educational evening!

Mark Your Calendars

On March 17, City Mission will celebrate a grand re-opening of its Washington Hidden Treasures store at a new location. Hidden Treasures in Washington, formerly on Jefferson Avenue, can be found on the corner of Washington and West Beau Street in the former Three Rivers Auction building with free parking directly across the street.

The opening ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. in Hidden Treasures with prayer, remarks from noted figures of City Mission and the community, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, benediction and an invitation to shop the new store. Everything is on sale and with a St. Patrick's Day-themed opening, there will be plenty of savings for those who attend the celebration!

Feeding the Hungry

For the homeless and hungry, a good, hot meal can be the first step to recovery. Once we meet the physical needs of our residents we can address the spiritual needs and reach out to them with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

City Mission served 92,336 hot meals in the fiscal year of 2013-14. We serve three nutritious meals per day, 365 days per year (with some modifications for holiday schedules) for our residents and the community. Meal times can vary; please call (724) 222-8530 ext. 222 to speak with the Food Services Manager for an updated meal schedule.

Thanks to our Longtime Partner

We'd  like to take this opportunity to thank our longtime partner in tackling homelessness in the region, United Way of Washington County.

We appreciate their help more than we can say!
