"The Mission changes people’s lives.

The people who serve are forever changed by the impact and personal fulfillment received from helping others. Mahatma Gandhi once said, 'The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.' For me, giving back to my community and being a part of God’s bigger plan fills a place in my heart that was once empty."

​

"'Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.' (1 Peter 4:10) I am grateful to the Old Town Mission for allowing me to do what God wants all of His children to do. I have received an additional blessing by getting to know and love the people associated with the Mission. My second family."​

​

"I have been volunteering at the Old Town Mission for many years. Matthew West's song 'Do Something' pretty much sums it up for me. I always want to be the person who stands up and says, 'I'm gonna do something."

"Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has instructed us to serve one another and those in need. The Old Town Mission and the Mission Thrift Store are a Christian outreach that assists those in need. As such, it is a privilege to serve on the Board and to be part of our mission to serve our local community."

"I volunteer at the Old Town Mission because I like helping others, especially when it involves feeding people. Sometimes people need just a little help to flourish!"

"As a law enforcement officer, I have seen firsthand how meeting an individual's needs can positively impact their situation and strengthen the community. Volunteering at the Mission provides an opportunity to give back and make a difference."
