Tim Campbell Executive Director

The City Mission - Maybe you've never heard of it? Or you may think, is that the place where they feed and shelter homeless men? What exactly does The City Mission do?

For folks like me who grew up in Cleveland and have always known about The City Mission, it's hard to believe that some people don't know about our ministry. Yet, as Director, I constantly encounter those who are strangers to this work or who are amazed at the extensive scope of this outreach to the disadvantaged. The comment I often hear is,
"This has to be Cleveland's best-kept secret!"

But it has never been intentional that we are a secret to some - in fact, it is imperative that the 90-year history of The City Mission be told for the benefit of those who need our help, as well as the blessing of potential donors, prayer partners, and volunteers.

Our 1992 relocation from downtown to East 55th and Carnegie - right in the Midtown corridor - has done much to unveil the secret and let us be more visible in Cleveland. Also, the expansion of our ministries over the years into youth, men's, women and children's, prison ministry, and camping programs has helped to spread the word.

So, please take a few minutes to read about us, then prayerfully consider how you may get involved, and be sure to share this story with someone else. Go ahead! This is one SECRET that we THANK YOU for telling!!!
