Life-Skills Classes
Classes such as budgeting, money management and anger management help men and women have steady, consistent success as they start a new life.
Everett Gospel Mission engages with the community to alleviate poverty. Each $2.05 you give helps feed one man, woman or child experiencing hunger or homelessness in Snohomish County.
Addressing someone’s hunger is the first step to change and to helping them get off the streets.
When Stephanie and her husband Tyler arrived in Washington with their two young children, they were out of options. Sick, exhausted, and out of money, they had been bouncing between hotels, hospitals, and borrowed couches—carrying everything they owned and desperately trying to stay together as a family.
“We moved into the shelter just three days before Thanksgiving,” Stephanie remembers. “We had been through so much—I’d lost 40 pounds, the kids were sick, and I was terrified all the time.”
But then… mercy found them.
At Everett Gospel Mission, the Champion family was finally able to stop running. They found warmth, safety, and people who saw them—not as a burden, but as human beings worth fighting for.
The Mission gave them more than a place to stay. “We had somewhere to be for Christmas,” Stephanie says. “My daughter still talks about shopping with a police officer, the presents, the hot cocoa, the movies with other kids. They gave our children back the magic of the holidays.”
With stability came healing—and hope. Stephanie started working at the Mission that once gave her shelter. Her husband found work and now supports their family’s dreams. They’ve grown in their faith and moved into housing of their own.
None of it would have been possible without the compassion of people like you.
But when you give, you give more than a meal. Your gift also declares and demonstrates the love of Jesus, builds trust and establishes relationships that lead to lasting change!
Each $2.05 you give will provide a meal. Each meal can be the start of a changed life, off the streets!
“For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.”
– Psalm 9:18
