mission: The New Orleans Mission serves the poor, needy and homeless population of New Orleans. The Mission tries to meet both spiritual and physical needs in helping people to be restored to a correct relationship with God and a productive relationship with society. As an arm of the Christian Church, the Mission ministers to the least, the last and the lost. The New Orleans Mission is a non-profit that seeks to alleviate the plight of homeless men, women and children. The Mission opened in 1989 and has grown each year to provide additional services to the needy. The New Orleans population as defined by the 2000 census states that 43.3% of the population that have children under the age of five, are living below the poverty level. Births attributed to unmarried women were 63.8%. In a 1999 Snapshot Survey done by the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions of 100 missions nationwide, 67% of families served were women with children. As an inner city ministry the New Orleans Mission currently meets the daily needs of the poor, needy and homeless people of New Orleans. We provide them with meals, showers, clothing and shelter. The Mission provides emergency shelter to men and will soon provide emergency shelter to women with children. The Mission provides literacy classes and job-skills training to our program clients and our overnight clients. The classes enrich the clients and more than doubles their ability to obtain higher paying jobs. Recently a woman with less than a second grade education, obtained a position at the local beauty college after graduating from the learning center. She tested at a ninth grade level when she left the learning center for employment. We also employ a Case Worker, who would assist them in seeking housing and food assistance. We also collaborate with the Partnership for Access to Healthcare (PATH) that provides medical and follow-up care four days a week. We do not discriminate against anyone based on his or her age, sex, race or religious beliefs. We are in the Rescue Ministry and it is our goal to rescue these women and children from the unsafe streets of New Orleans and provide a stepping stone from which they can begin rebuilding fruitful lives. ->
