Inner City Mission

Fall is coming, and we are almost completely out of our bedding supplies.
With cooler months just around the river bend, we would love to fill our closets back up and be ready to supply our residents with all of the bedding they need.

We are looking for new or gently used:
- twin sheets
- blankets
- pillows
- bath towels.

If you are in the neighborhood and want to bless our families in this way that would be amazing! We also have an Amazon wishlist if you are feeling crazy. Thank you for partnering with us in so many different ways :)

In March, we asked our partners to help us replace the fifty-year-old wooden fire escape connecting the second-floor residential rooms of The Lodge to the ground. We had repaired the structure over the years, but after serving its purpose well, a replacement was necessary to ensure the safety of our families.

The response was amazing as countless partners came alongside us in prayer and financial support, fully raising the funds needed for the project to take place. On July 23–25, skilled volunteers from various churches worked alongside our staff to tear down the old structure and build a new one in its place. It was awesome to witness the Body of Christ use its different gifts and talents to bring about lasting transformation, a structure that will keep our families safe for decades to come.

Thank you so much to every person who prayed, donated, and participated in this project. We are so blessed to walk in ministry with each and every one of you.

Lola and Jude are 2 awesome kids who spent part of their summer gathering supplies for our ICM families! They came by this weekend and filled our entire paper shed with the donations they had worked tirelessly to gather. Thank you so much for sharing your love for those in need with us! 😎🤩🧻

It was amazing having the Pleasant Hill CC Youth group here serving the families who call ICM home. They cleaned & reorganized our food pantry, paper shed, and our walk-in deep freezer. 🧽🧺 They cleaned our conference class room and prepped our living room and kitchen for painting, and they stained our back porch and railings. You pair that with a Taco Gr**go lunch and it was a perfect day! 🌮☀️ Thank you all so much for coming and spending the day at ICM 😎....

If you have a small group that is interested in serving at ICM please visit innercitymission.net or reach out to [email protected]

We have a unique need at the mission this week! We have a mom who is in need of a car seat for a 1-year-old. 👶🚗 If you have one that you would be able to donate, we would be very grateful!

We are so thankful for you and your generosity! 🙌🏻 If car seats are not your thing and you feel compelled to give, you can do so through our Amazon Wishlist or in person (we are running scary low on toilet paper and paper towels). 🧻

Donations can be made 8am-7pm at 720 North 7th Street, Springfield, IL 62702.
Thank you!

Scott and Jacob are at Citygate today in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with the rest of the team following them up tomorrow. 🚗🏙️

Citygate is a network of over 300 homeless shelters/non-profits that come together every year to learn and grow during a 4-day conference.

We are excited for our team to continue connecting with other organizations as we help one another shine the light of Christ into homeless communities all across the country. ✏️📖

We just used our last 33-gallon trash bag on the campus 🤠 so if you are feeling crazy and want to swing some by this week we would be extremely thankful!

In fact, we are already thankful because you guys are awesome! 😎 Thank you for loving us so well and helping us share that love with others 🙂

Donations can be made 8am-7pm at 720 North 7th Street, Springfield, IL 62702. You can also donate online through our Amazon Wishlist:
