Open House at the Mission
Sunday, January 10, 2010
The Mission will be open from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. for anyone who wants to see our facilities, enjoy some light refreshments, hear about our ministries, see some old photos, watch a video presentation or two, talk to the leaders and staff of the Mission, and just celebrate with us. This is the actual 100th anniversary of the first service held at the Mission, so it is a very special date. The Mission's Christmas decorations will still be up to enjoy as well.

NEWS RELEASE - October 7, 2008
EXPANDED FACILITIES OPEN
Expanded restroom, shower and laundry facilities were officially opened today with a ribbon-cutting at Washington Street Mission. Springfield mayor Tim Davlin participated in the ribbon-cutting, expressing appreciation for the Mission's contributions to addressing the issues of homelessness in the city.
The expanded facilites will serve people who visit the Mission during its morning neighborhood coffee hours. Many of these people are homeless, stay in emergency shelters, or are marginally housed in less than ideal circumstances. The Mission serves coffee and doughnuts each weekday morning from 7:00 AM. to 11:00 A.M. without charge.
