When you are out on the street, your focus is on surviving. Your priorities become finding food, shelter
from the cold, and a place to sleep. When these basic needs are met, it becomes possible to address
the problems that led to that situation and move forward. At Northlands Rescue Mission, Dana found
the help he needed to work through his troubles. He had a warm bed, three meals a day, social
support, and help creating a plan for the future.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…” Matthew 25:35

There’s Healing in Helping Nidia has found that healing goes both ways since her arrival at Northlands Rescue Mission in October 2016. Homeless, hungry, and without a support network, all she wanted was a warm bed, warm meals, and maybe some warmth in a little companionship.
Candy Vigen is a retired school teacher and friend of the Mission. She got her first real look at poverty when she volunteered to tutor some of her students in their homes in the very poorest part of the town where she taught. Having grown up in an affluent neighborhood, she had no idea that people lived in such terrible conditions and with so few resources. She didn’t jump to action right away, but the memories of her students’ living conditions would stick with her for years to come.
