Fred Jordan Missions seeks to carry out the mandate of Isaiah 58:7 (MsgB) “What I'm interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, and putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad”.

The Mission is a mercy ministry, so we go to the streets, the alleys and the flophouses and we invite the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame to come. And they come by the thousands.

Spiritual help is available daily, through Chapel services, Bible Studies and Personal Counseling from Mission staff and volunteer counselors, pastors and other professionals.

Hunger is a serious and growing problem in America’s inner cities. More people are hungry today than at any time in recent history. Hunger is the constant companion of the poor and the homeless. Tens of thousands of impoverished families share flophouse apartments with relatives or friends in crime-infested neighborhoods and even more thousands live in garages that have no plumbing or electricity. Many of them go to bed hungry night after night.

Food is the common denominator that links the many programs of the Fred Jordan Mission. Every person who comes to the Mission is given nourishing food through one of the following ministries:

1. Hot meals: The Mission prepares and serves several hot meals every day; to mothers and children, to children in the Mission’s After School Program, to single homeless adults and to those enrolled in the Mission’s residential Rehab/Discipleship program.

2. Family Food Bags: The Mission distributes bags of groceries to families and single adults who come for emergency food.

3. Take-home food: Children in the After School Program are given prepared meals or food bags to take home to hungry family members.

Free clothing and blankets are distributed to families sleeping on the streets or in unheated sub-standard dwellings. The demand is endless and the supply dwindles almost as quickly as they are donated by individuals, churches and businesses.

Baby diapers and formula are distributed daily to impoverished families and too often the Mission’s supply of these necessities is depleted.

Personal hygiene items, such as soap, shampoo, tooth paste and tooth brushes, and body lotions are luxuries to poor and homeless people who have no bathing facilities; the Mission distributes these luxuries almost as fast as they are donated.
