Salt Lake City Mission

At the Salt Lake City Mission we Provide Real Change, not just spare change through our programs and services
Mission Statement
The Salt Lake City Mission is a Non-Denominational Church Rescue Mission Ministry that serves and offers services to the Homeless, Impoverished, and all those who have a genuine need, regardless of race, creed, religion, sex, age, or national origin.
o We do this by providing food, shelter, clothing, crisis intervention and counseling, vocational support i.e. resume building, telephone messaging, call services, referrals, references, etc.; we also offer help with obtaining Id’s, Driver’s Licenses and Birth Certificates.
o We also offer educational and substance abuse counseling and Bible Studies through our “Up-Word Motion” and “Second Chance Ranch” Programs; which deal with multiple issues from anger management to parenting and building positive, healthy relationships.
o We ultimately hope and pray for the lives of those we serve to be transformed through the love and power of Jesus Christ.
