The Modesto Gospel Mission serves 600 meals a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. We serve 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 2 dinners and 2 snacks per day to the poor and homeless in the community. The food served by the Mission is donated by individuals and businesses in the area, and our service provides warm meals to individuals and families where the only meal they may be able to eat that day is from the Mission.
The Mission also provides daily “to go” meals to any member of the homeless community to receive and take with them off campus.
During Thanksgiving the Mission serves around 1,500 meals to the community, and at Christmas we serve close to 2,500 meals to men, women, and children during the holidays. Our meal service is a vital part of the Modesto Gospel Mission and could not be what it is today without the help and support of our sponsors and the Stanislaus community.

The overnight shelter program provides 150 beds for men and women and children for emergency shelter every night in 2 separate buildings. Guests are provided with a safe place to sleep overnight as well as showers, meals, and chapel services during their stay, and case management services are provided to those who consistently come to the Mission for overnight shelter.
The overnight towards program aims to be a stepping stone on the road towards permanent housing, and aims to provide hope for the future and provide pretend ical resources for shelter guests as they look for jobs, stable housing, and attempt to transform their lives. The Mission provides a total of 225 beds for men, women, and children every night (emergency shelter, New Life Program residents, and single father units). The Mission also provides additional transitional housing and low-rent housing to program graduates and senior women throughout Stanislaus County.
Every Thursday, we work with our partner, the Shower Shuttle, to give hot showers, underwear, socks, and hygiene kits to the homeless, underserved, and working poor. To restore the hope so desperately lost in today's society, we need to engage the lost and broken. This isn't just a shower. The goal is to re-humanize the individual by meeting their basic needs.

Every Wednesday, our partner also brings the laundry shuttle to our campus. People's lives are greatly influenced by clean clothes and the environment. More people should benefit from this arrangement.
