Jessie’s Place, affectionately named after Mission co-founder Jessie Hale Downs, was established in 1998 as a haven for homeless and hurting women and children seeking shelter while preparing to reach self-sufficiency. They become involved in daily life skills training, Bible studies, case management, counseling, education remediation, career readiness, and children’s programs including play therapy.

Our vision for The Foundry Recovery Program is to channel God's amazing love and forgiveness to men and women battling drug addiction and substance abuse. Through His hands, these broken individuals can regain basic necessities, restore their hope and self-esteem, and achieve real, lasting change in their lives.
