The Old Town Mission: Spreading Hope and Love this Thanksgiving

The holidays can be particularly tough for those struggling to make ends meet. With the pressure of providing festive meals, securing warm clothing, and giving loved ones the attention they deserve, the season can feel overwhelming. That’s where the Old Town Mission steps in to lend a helping hand.

Located in the heart of the Verde Valley, the Old Town Mission has been serving the community since 1989, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can enjoy a Thanksgiving with their families and friends. Through compassion, generosity, and unwavering faith, the Mission has become a beacon of hope for many in the Cottonwood area, providing essential services that uplift and empower those in need.

Our Mission: Empowering, Sustaining, and Inspiring

At the Old Town Mission, our core mission is clear – we are here to empower, sustain, inspire, and share God's love while serving our neighbors. We aim to help individuals and families who are struggling by providing the resources they need to navigate difficult times. Through the provision of food, clothing, community events, and practical programs, we not only address immediate needs but also build lasting relationships to create a stronger, more connected community.

Each year, as the holiday season approaches, the Mission works tirelessly to ensure that no one in the Verde Valley has to face Thanksgiving alone or without the essentials for a warm and nourishing meal. Our team of volunteers, donors, and local partners come together to create an environment where compassion and generosity flow, and where individuals are reminded that they are valued members of our community.

More Than a Meal: A Community Effort

While the holiday meals are a highlight of the Mission's work, the impact of the Old Town Mission reaches far beyond a Thanksgiving dinner. Each year, the Mission provides critical services year-round. Through food distributions, clothing drives, practical programs, and various community events, the Old Town Mission ensures that individuals and families have access to the resources they need to thrive.

But what truly sets the Mission apart is its focus on relationship-building. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to treating every person with dignity, respect, and kindness. We don’t just provide a meal or a coat – we take the time to listen, to connect, and to offer support in meaningful ways. This approach has allowed the Old Town Mission to become a central point of hope and encouragement for countless people in the Verde Valley.
