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.
