Thank You for Your Partnership
Gateway Mission is deeply grateful for your church’s partnership and support — both for this special project and in your ongoing care for men, women, and children in need. Your prayers, encouragement, and gifts make a real difference, now and every day.
If the Mission reaches the $175,000 goal to fully furnish the new Men’s Center, any additional gifts will go directly to providing day-to-day care for the men and families in our facilities. This includes essentials like warm meals, shelter, and recovery programs — directly supporting the individuals who will benefit from the beds, bedding, and other furnishings your gifts helped provide.
Thank you for helping Gateway Mission open the new Men’s Center fully equipped and ready to transform lives with hope, dignity, and faith.
