The Story of the New Orleans Mission

A Beacon of Hope, Healing, and Transformation

The New Orleans Mission began with a simple yet profound vision: to provide refuge, support, and hope to those experiencing homelessness and struggling with addiction in our community. Over the years, we have grown into a multifaceted organization dedicated to transforming lives and offering a path to lasting change.

Our Mission

At the heart of the New Orleans Mission is our unwavering commitment to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the men, women, and children who seek our help. We provide more than just food, clothing, and shelter—we offer a lifeline to a better future. Our mission is to restore dignity, instill hope, and empower individuals to achieve their fullest potential through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our Services

Emergency Shelter: Every night, we open our doors to hundreds of men and women, offering them a safe place to sleep, warm meals, clothing, and access to essential hygiene facilities. Our goal is to meet immediate needs and provide a stable environment where healing can begin.

Long-Term Recovery: Our comprehensive recovery programs are designed to address the root causes of homelessness and addiction. At the Giving Hope Retreat, men participate in a year-long discipleship program that focuses on personal development, spiritual growth, and practical skills training. They become part of a supportive community, gaining new family bonds and a renewed sense of purpose.

Women and Children's Programs: The Lynhaven Retreat is a sanctuary for women and their children, providing a nurturing environment where they can heal and rebuild their lives. We offer specialized programs that address the unique challenges faced by women, helping them overcome past traumas and prepare for a brighter future. We are also excited to announce the opening of our children's classroom, where young minds can learn and grow in a safe and supportive setting.

Our Impact

Each year, we serve over 3,000 individuals, offering them not only the basic necessities of life but also the tools and support needed for lasting change. Our holistic approach addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of recovery, ensuring that those we help are equipped to reintegrate into society and lead fulfilling lives.

How You Can Help

The needs are great, but with your support, we can continue to make a profound impact. For just $8 a day, you can sponsor a man in our year-long discipleship program, providing him with food, clothing, shelter, and the opportunity for life transformation. That's $250 a month to change a life forever.

You can also contribute by donating essential supplies, hosting a Redemption NOLA jewelry party, or volunteering your time. Every act of generosity, big or small, helps us fulfill our mission.
