A Great Day to Help your Erie City Mission!
The biggest giving day in Erie is almost here, and the Erie City Mission is excited to once again join the list of nonprofits participating in this 24-hour online giving event.
The 16th annual Erie Gives Day is scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, 2026, from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. On this day only, the Erie Community Foundation and its community partners will add additional dollars—Bonus Bucks—to each donation that is made to the Erie City Mission when donated through the Erie Gives website.

Because you give, the Mission continues to cultivate a community of new life, break the cycle of hopelessness, and build the kingdom of God

More Than a Label.
Addict. Hopeless. They made their choices. Why don’t they just get help?
But what if you knew the whole story?
Before you knew their name, you may have already known their label. But a label doesn’t tell their story. It doesn’t tell you what they’ve survived, or the courage it took to ask for help.
The truth is, people experiencing homelessness and addiction are not defined by their hardest moments. They are people—with families, with dreams, with a future.
At the Erie City Mission, we believe every person deserves to be seen for who they are, not where they’ve been. Because recovery is possible. Hope is possible. Change is possible. This is the truth.
This Erie Gives Day, you can help remove the labels and transform lives for people right here in our community.
