Compassionate Care

Shelter & Care at City Mission
A First Step Toward a Brighter Tomorrow

At City Mission, we believe that meeting basic needs is the first step toward hope and renewal. Through meals, shelter, and medical care, we provide a safe and caring environment where individuals can begin to rebuild their lives. Many first discover City Mission through a meal in our kitchen or through outreach programs like our Samaritan Care Program, where compassion and support are always waiting.

Shelter

City Mission has five shelters for longer term recovery: Men’s, Women’s, Women with Children, the Crabtree-Kovacicek Veteran’s House, and Sally's House, our two step recovery program, providing a combined shelter for 212 individuals at any given time. Individuals interested in long-term shelter begin in our gateway dorm, complete an assessment, and, if eligible, are placed in our long-term program. We also offer 24 beds year-round for Emergency Shelter to ensure that every person has a safe place to sleep and a nutritious meal.

Medical Care

Healthcare for Residents

Opened in 2018, City Mission’s Medical Clinic provides free preventive, primary, and urgent care to our residents. A dedicated staff nurse works alongside volunteer physicians from the local community to deliver comprehensive healthcare. The clinic collaborates with other local agencies, including assisted-care homes, addiction treatment centers, the Veterans Administration, and Washington Hospital, and continues to partner with healthcare providers to bring the latest technologies and treatments to those we serve.

  • Our drug-free pain management clinic provides pain relief alternatives, such as Alpha Stim treatment, physical therapy, and positional release therapy to address chronic pain without the use of opiates.
  • Chiropractic services are available as another pain management alternative to improve health collaboration with the Centerville Clinics providing on site primary care services.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me…—  Matthew 25:35-36
