Erie City Mission

Restoring Hope and Transforming Lives for 115 Years


Who We Are

The Erie City Mission works to cultivate a community of new life, break the cycle of hopelessness, and ultimately build the Kingdom of God. The Mission has been a leader in the field of rescue and recovery since 1911, existing to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of men, women, youth, and families in the city of Erie. 

Our Work 

To effectively meet both the immediate and long-term challenges of those we serve, the Erie City Mission has five core programs that focus on both intervention and prevention needs. Our intervention programs include an emergency men’s shelter, long-term addictions recovery for men and women, and hunger relief through free meals. Our prevention program, Urban University, seeks to develop junior high and high school students toward servant leadership through a variety of experiences that include career exploration and academic enrichment.



This Erie Gives Day, you can help remove the labels and transform lives for people right here in our community.

Addict. Hopeless. They made their choices. Why don’t they just get help? But what if you knew the whole story?

Before you knew their name, you may have already known their label. But a label doesn’t tell their story. It doesn’t tell you what they’ve survived, or the courage it took to ask for help.

The truth is, people experiencing homelessness and addiction are not defined by their hardest moments. They are people—with families, with dreams, with a future.

At the Erie City Mission, we believe every person deserves to be seen for who they are, not where they’ve been. Because recovery is possible. Hope is possible. Change is possible. This is the truth. 


Please Note: All donations received on Erie Gives Day go to help all programs of the Mission year-round.
