People’s City Mission

Description

People’s City Mission was started in 1907 by local churches, offering food and shelter for transient and impoverished men, women and children.

Today, the People’s City Mission is Lincoln’s primary homeless shelter housing 350 men, women and children on an average day. PCM provides emergency and transitional housing to both men and families (including single mothers).

Their mission is to be a witness for Christ among the poor and homeless, server their needs, and advocate their cause to the community at large.

History

The People’s City Mission (PCM) has been a vital part of the Lincoln community for over 100 years. It was founded in 1907 by a number of local churches in the city. They wanted to demonstrate Christ’s love to people who were impoverished and homeless by providing them with emergency assistance of food, shelter, and clothing.

Through the years, their purpose has remained the same: bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the poor and homeless, and demonstrate His love for them by meeting basic human needs. Over the years, more than five hundred thousand people have been assisted by their ministry.
