Who we are…
...Friendship Mission Inc. is an offshoot of the Friendship Presbyterian Church, a small church in rural Hope Hull, Alabama. Friendship Mission was established in 1996 when Pastor Vincent Rosato, saw the need and was burdened to help the homeless and poor in Montgomery, Alabama. It was the Pastor’s vision to establish a facility that was accessible by all the needy in the area. In 2004 this vision was realized by the building of the present facility located on Mobile Hwy, which at the time was considered the epicenter of the homeless population in the city of Montgomery. In February 2013 the next phase of the mission was started in a different low income area of Montgomery to open the women and children homeless shelter.

Where we are…
… Eight years ago, Friendship Mission moved into the new facility on 7-acres located at 3561 Mobile Highway. The facility houses a Sanctuary, kitchen and living space for up to 50 homeless men. Friendship assist the residents with their physical needs, providing food, clothes and hygiene products.
… The shelter’s dining hall is open to the public at noon and 4:45 p.m. to provide a good meal to homeless and poor men, women and children. Approximately 2,000 plates of food are given out each week.
...Friendship is in the process of opening the new single women and women with children's shelter located at 312 Chisholm Street. This facility will house upwards of 50 women and children that are experiencing homelessness. The facility will allow the residents a one year stay while the women work to gain education and work. This will enable them time to prepare for transitioning back into the community ready for independent living.
… Various ministers and laymen teach God’s Word twice daily to all who come to our shelter. We hold 10 Bible Studies each week, and on Sundays we have three services: Sunday School from 9-10 am.; Worship Service from 11 am -12:30 pm; and Sunday night from 5-6:30 pm Also on Sunday, we provide breakfast, lunch and supper.

…Friendship Mission would like to one day build a gym on the property of the men shelter. This would allow our men somewhere to work out some of the anger and stress that they experience during their struggles to regain their independence.
