Overview
Mission

(the Chaplaincy) is dedicated to providing a Christian ministry of presence, advocacy, service and Word and Sacracrament to the homeless resident's of the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area.

What it reported doing in 2019
During 2019, the Ecumenical Chaplaincy for the Homeless continued to provide a Christian, faith-based ministry in fulfillment of its mission to serve the homeless.

The Chaplaincy extended its service from two St Vincent de Paul dining rooms to four such dining rooms.

Finally, the Chaplaincy began providing ministry to homeless children at United Methodist Outreach Ministry (UMOM), the largest family shelter in Arizona.

The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filed totals do not add up and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
