Modesto Gospel Mission

Since 1948, the Modesto Gospel Mission has provided nutritious meals, warm beds, and a place of safety to thousands of poor and homeless men, women, and children.

The Mission is able to serve some of the most broken people in our community by helping them get off the streets and radically change their lifestyle through a myriad of programs and services. We offer hope through the love of Jesus – in word and deed. The Mission ministers to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each guest. More than a food bank or soup kitchen, we provide daily shelter, clothing, meals, showers, Bible studies, life skills classes, employment training and assistance, addiction recovery, a medical clinic, and more. To meet these needs, the Modesto Gospel Mission depends on local gifts from individuals, churches, groups, foundations, and businesses that care about the poor and homeless in Stanislaus county.

Stanislaus Senior Foundation

The Stanislaus Senior Foundation is a charitable organization founded in 2008 that focuses on enhancing the lives of the senior population.

By continuously advocating  for vulnerable seniors as well as raise funds to provide needed goods and services, the Foundation helps enhance their safety and  well-being.

In addition, the Foundation has supported local agencies with funding used to keep seniors safe in their homes. These include purchase and installation of numerous utility ramps for seniors,  fire alarms, security locks, heating, plumbing and flooring repairs. All of these very basic changes and additions have served to maintain the recipient seniors safely and much more securely in the homes they love.

The Foundation believes that charitable giving should begin at the local level. Seniors are the most underserved, undervalued and most vulnerable population.  The funds generously donated will help them in a very real way to stay safe and live in relative security as noted in the video of Rev.Michael Douglass, President and CEO of Advancing Vibrant Communities. Advancing Vibrant Communities was awarded $5000.00 in 2018 to defray the costs of in-home construction services which includes the installation of safety equipment (safety bars, minor repairs involving safety issues and ramps).
