The Mission Community Outreach Center first opened its doors to the
Spokane community in 1996. Since then we have provided services for
thousands of people through our commitment to doing Christ's work
here on earth. Although we are not affiliated with any specific church,
our mission is to do good for others in the name of the Lord. To do
this, we must have the support of the community. Much of this support
comes from our local Christian churches. The Center is ecumenical
in nature; all are welcome here. Our Board consists of representatives
from most of the Christian churches in the area. Through this, we
can work with the community to find new solutions to the problems
faced by the poor and underprivileged.
Our Mission as an Outreach Center:
- To serve Spokane County as a infant crisis bank, give out free womens
multivitamins with folic acid and serve families of domestic violence with
clothing and household items and bedding.
- To be a charitable, non-profit, all volunteer organization
established to benefit the public interest in the areas served by
providing services to all low-income families and individuals for
FREE.
- To serve the poor or underprivileged people living north of 16th
Avenue to Lincoln Road and east of Division Street to Park Road.
- To help meet the physical, emotional, social, educational,
economic and spiritual needs of the people in our area.
- To form alliances of cooperation with other community-concerned
organizations and the Christian community.
We Need Volunteers!
Intake clerks, clothing sorters and groups for
sorting clothing on the Tuesdays and Thursday (the day's the center
is closed). We are in need of groups to sponsor a "Baby
Food Drive, Necessities Supplies Drive and Christmas Toys Drive
for Elementary School Children.
