The Eugene Mission – A Wellness Center for the Homeless
Welcome to Eugene’s Mission! We are not a homeless shelter in the
traditional sense. While we certainly provide the homeless with food and
shelter – and do so with an abundance of God’s love – the Eugene
Mission’s ultimate goal is to provide holistic long-term solutions that
lead to the wellness of its guests. We are positive but assertive with
our guests, asking as much of them as they do of us. We arm them with
the skills they need to move forward, while inspiring and motivating
them to do so.
Who stays at the Mission? Primarily people who are homeless, whether
temporarily or chronically. Guests come to us for a variety of reasons,
including job loss and unemployment, eviction, mental illness, physical
difficulties, domestic violence, prison release, and addiction to drugs
and alcohol. Whatever the reason, we welcome our guests with open arms,
eager to provide practical and loving services, hope, and a fresh start.
We first offer hope by meeting of our guests’ immediate practical needs.
Once stabilized, the real work begins – the work of transitioning our
guests out of homelessness back to productive members of society!
