Men living on the streets in need of safe shelter are welcomed to the Men's Shelter for seven free nights. After this time a $6 dormitory fee is requested. The 70-bed dormitory for emergency guests is occupied each night on a first-come, first-served basis to anyone not under the influence of a controlled substance. Each guest receives nutritious meals, clean clothing, hot showers, safe shelter and more.

In addition, the Mission hosts four Banquets a year and gives out hygiene, clothing and other items.
