About the Salem Mission
The Salem Mission is an independent 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization managed by a Board of Governors. The
Mission is funded in part with state and federal funds through
the Department of Transitional Assistance, FEMA (The Federal Emergency
Management Agency), and the City of Salem Planning Dept. Housing
and Urban Development. These sources provide about 50% of the
operating budget.
The remainder of the Mission’s budget is raised through
the generous contributions of hundreds of individuals, churches,
businesses and organizations and grants from private sources,
including Project Bread/Walk for Hunger.
The Salem Mission has been meeting the needs of homeless and
hungry people and the Salem Community for over 20 years via four programs:
Shelter, Community Meals, Food Pantry, and Community Day Services.
In addition to shelter and meals, assistance is provided in areas
such as health care, mental health and substance abuse. The Mission
also supports community outreach and street advocacy. In 2005
we opened the "Second
Chance Thrift Store"
which sells clothing, household items and furniture. 100% of the
proceeds go to fund the Mission and its programs and services.
