There are many specific needs at South Side Mission in addition to financial contributions.  The needs are many, but the Lord has been faithful over the years. We will trust Him for many more.

What kinds of donations does South Side Mission accept?  Well, you'd be surprised!  Because the Mission works with so many people, we have need of nearly anything that you can imagine. Food, clothing, and furniture are a few of the material items that we distribute to the poor, but our largest needs continue to be

time, (in the form of volunteering)

money, (to help fund our outreach ministries) and most importantly:

prayer (to be bold in proclaiming Jesus Christ in every situation and for                   the discipline to bring glory to Him.)

What happens when I donate things to the Mission?  Because we serve nearly 15,000 poor people each year, we give away 80% of the donations that people entrust to us.  Some of the items that come in are passed along to the Mission Mart and offered for sale to the general public.  This has come to be an important funding source for South Side Mission, and even better, it has become a great place for ministry!

Our most important need continues to be prayer. We desperately need people to "do battle in the heavenlies" for us and with us. Pray for wisdom for those in authority at South Side Mission. Pray for provision from our Jehovah Jireh. Pray for joy as we do our work for Him. Pray for encouragement for the people we serve. Pray for protection from those forces that would like to see this work fail.
