Mission
Since 1948, Modesto Gospel Mission has provided nutritious meals, warm beds and a place of safety for thousands of poor and homeless men, women and children. Through various services, we are able to help someone go from homeless to home. We touch lives with the love of Jesus and offer hope where there is despair. We minister to the whole person: physically, emotionally and spiritually. We do this by providing emergency and ongoing shelter, clothing, meals 3 times per day, a day program, a residential 18-month life-transformation program, Bible studies, life skills classes, GED assistance, work therapy, employment training and assistance, addiction recovery, medical clinic, after-school programs and tutoring for at-risk children/youth, transitional housing, supportive housing, and more.

Programs and results
What we aim to solve
One of our strategic goals is to build our shelter program with a deeper root of total restoration for the clinics that we serve. We strive to provide a pathway from homelessness to the restoration of the whole person.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
18-month New Life Program
The residential, 18-month "New Life Program" assists and encourages men and women as they prepare for their return to society. Through Physical, Spiritual, Emotional, Social, Educational, Vocational, Employment, and Financial programs, we help them break the cycle of homelessness and despair.
Overnight Shelter for Men, Women and Children
We offer emergency dorm-style shelter for men and women/women with children (separately), several units for men with children and families, and shared rooms for our residential New Life Program men and women. In all, our capacity is approximately 220 beds each night.
We shelter 2,000 men, women, and children each year. We offer shelter for men; men with children; women; women with children; and, as available, families.
After School Youth Program
Our Children & Youth Center is open 5 days a week. Our After School Program offers homework help, tutoring, snacks, art classes, fun and friendship. We offer a daily family devotional followed by free dinner for our attendees and their families. We run a teen program on Friday nights.
Employment and Education Department
Open to the public, our Employment and Education Department is vital to helping people get back on their feet. Here they can write a resume, search for jobs, get interview coaching, and obtain a GED or High School Diploma.
Medical Clinic
Our Medical Clinic is available for those we serve who do not have health insurance. We have volunteer doctors and nurses available during clinic hours on certain weeknights.
Case Management
Our Case Management Program is for those who use our Overnight Emergency Shelter services. By working with our Chaplain, they get help obtaining services from the Mission and the community that can assist them in getting back on their feet.
