It takes a village to lift someone up from poverty, addictions, or homelessness.
Here at the Back Door Mission, we like to remind everyone to think big, start small. This means no matter the size of your contribution, you are helping us achieve big goals for countless members of the community. This month we are kicking off our first annual It Takes a Village campaign. Over the next six weeks you will have the opportunity to view our impact through the eyes of our community members. Stay tuned for a new video every Saturday!
How can you help?
To sum it up, what we do takes a village! Will you join our village by donating today?
Unable to donate but still looking for a way to have an impact? Sharing our campaign videos on social media is a great way to help us grow our village too! Like we said: think big, start small! Check out our Youtube channel here.

Mathew
We would like you to meet Mathew. Shortly after the filming of this video, Mathew was taken from us after his body succumbed to his addictions. Mathew never stopped fighting for his life, and today, he helps us fight for everyone else who is still struggling. Take a moment to listen to his experiences with homelessness, addiction, and the Back Door Mission. |
