Overview

Mission

Through feeding the hungry, support, and care, we provide redemption, recovery, and re-entry to the homeless, addicted, and those in need.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our residential recovery program is for men and women with life-controlling addictions who want to make a positive life change. The program is free and is a way to get off the streets into a safe environment. Residents have all physical needs met during the program, so they can focus on recovery. The recovery program is up to a one-year commitment and can serve approximately 120 participants. Residents are required to actively pursue recovery, including attending required treatment programming and meeting regularly with a counselor. The program also includes providing a resident with the necessary tools for successful integration back into society. For more information about entering the program, come to the mission between the hours of 8am and 2pm, monday through friday and fill out an application or call 702-382-1766.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
