We believe that every individual is loved by God and deserves to be valued, respected, and treated with dignity.
Unfortunately, our current Men’s facility does not reflect these principles upon entry. Our goal is to align our facility with these core values to better serve those in need.
This project is about more than just renovating a building; it’s about changing lives. By creating a warm and welcoming environment, men who enter our doors will find refuge from the heavy burden of homelessness and despair. It will help them build the foundation for recovery, stability, and life-changing personal growth.

Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality. Together, we can provide a welcoming space where positive change happens daily.
Any unused funds will be designated to other capital projects within MRM.
CHANGE HAPPENS HERE
IT BEGINS WHEN MEN WALK THROUGH OUR DOORS
Our capital campaign aims to transform our existing Men’s Shelter into a welcoming, dignity-filled environment that aligns with our mission to serve our guests in a loving, Christian-based manner. The remodel will focus on four main areas:
TIERED
SHELTER
This new shelter model goes beyond simply providing a roof over their heads. It tailors support to meet individual needs with three different levels of accommodations – from nightly emergency shelter, a dorm-style setting for temporary stays and a semi-private space for men who have progressed in their journey. This tiered approach provides the first step toward stability, highlighting the transformative impact of safe shelter in the recovery process and the journey to rebuilding lives.
RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM
WING
This designated area for the residential Man of Integrity program participants will provide a structured, Biblical, supportive living environment to promote personal growth and foster meaningful change in their lives.
ADAPTABLE BUILDING
DESIGN
This will enable us to utilize meeting spaces for various purposes, including classrooms, chapel space, gathering halls, and more. This adaptable design ensures our facility meets evolving needs and serves multiple functions.
PANTRY SHOPPING
EXPERIENCE
Creating a one-on-one, shoppable pantry gives guests a personalized experience and the ability to select food items that suit their family preferences and cultural tastes. This individualized approach promotes self-respect and preserves their dignity, making it feel less like a handout and more like a helping hand up for community members.
