More than 50 years ago Cherry Street Mission was founded by Christian businessmen and others to lend a helping hand to men who were hopelessly and helplessly lost in bondage to alcohol, essentially dropouts from society. Today, the drug culture has brought a radical change in our clientele - younger men and now women also - but the problem basically is the same, poverty of spirit. It is not enough to feed, clothe, provide beds and meet other basic necessities. Meeting the needs of a despairing spirit brings new hope and new life that changes the inner spirit and the motives of the heart. It inspires a person to look up and try again. Men are served at CHERRY STREET MISSION and women at SPARROWS' NEST. All services are provided free of any charge.
