Development Ministries

There are a number of ways to partner with the Erie City Mission.

We are able to do what we do because of the generosity and support of donors like you. Our homeless neighbors are served, the hurting are healed, and the hopeless are helped because of the compassion of our donors who support us.

Whether you can give your money, your goods, or your time – we want to partner with you!
