Washington City Mission Inc

In addition to residential programming, city mission's commitment to service extends into the broader community through our samaritan care and we care programs. Samaritan care provides bi-weekly food bags to individuals facing food insecurity. In fy 2023-2024, we distributed 9,390 food bags, benefiting 1,099 individuals. The program also organizes annual initiatives such as backpack distributions, boxes of love, santa's workshop toy distributions, and the provision of clothing vouchers. Samaritan care is an invaluable resource, offering information, program materials, and case management support to community members, with 448 hours of case management delivered in fy 2023-2024. Additionally, our sidewalk program facilitates collaboration with local service providers, delivering food and resource information directly to those in need. The we care street outreach program, which transitioned back to our campus in july 2024, focuses on reaching individuals who are unhoused and unwilling to enter shelters. Through this program, we provide meals, supplies, and medical care to the most vulnerable members of our community.

City mission's vocational training center and thrift stores serve three essential functions: providing valuable skills training in a supportive environment for residents, generating income to sustain our life-changing programs, and offering affordable goods to the community. With seven thrift stores and a warehouse, our operations not only generate revenue for city mission, but also meet the needs of local residents who can purchase goods at reduced prices. Additionally, items from the thrift stores are distributed through our voucher program, benefiting both residents and community members.
