Welcome to the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission

50 years.

That’s how long the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission has been serving this community. Since its doors opened in 1963, more than 250,000 men and women have come to the Mission for help with problems relating to addiction, poverty, hunger and shelter.

They found help. And hope.

We’ve served about 8 million meals. Provided clean beds for 2 million nights. Given away 2 million pieces of clothing.

And helped 75,000 addicts battle their affliction with drugs and alcohol.

Our anniversary is a testimony to the incredible donors who believe in our work, and I encourage you to explore the pages of this website and see the miracles God is doing here.

Homeless are being fed and housed. Battered women find refuge from the storms of their lives. Addicts and alcoholics are embracing sobriety.

Lives are being changed.

Our staff is dedicated to providing the best care we can – and we honestly believe that our 13-month recovery program is among the best in the country.

And we know our food services are second to none.

But we realize we can’t do it without your help.

So, please, look through our website. See the changed lives. Look at our services. Check out the financial reports and newsletters. Read about the staff.

And see the good that is happening here.

For 50 years, you’ve allowed us to be part of the solution. Thank you.

We hope to be part of this great community for many more years.

God bless you!
