Shelter the homeless.
Feed the hungry.
Care for those in need
with Christian love and kindness.

Faith Mission is the only emergency facility in Elkhart County where shelter, meals, clothing and long-term recovery programs are provided all in one place.

Our doors are open 365 days a year to Elkhart County’s neediest men, women and children, regardless of origin, creed, age or gender.  Once each person’s basic needs are met, we go to work restoring lives through our long-term residential and community network programs.
