Erie City Mission

Erie City Mission As a leader in the field of rescue and recovery, the Erie City Mission exists to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those living in Erie.

Our Mission - Restoring Hope, Transforming Lives The Mission is part of a national association of 275 “Gospel Rescue Missions". Rescue missions, unlike government entities, can focus on local needs without a community-wide consensus to begin their work. Membership provides access to a variety of networking and professional resources and collaboration with other rescue missions throughout the natio

n. Our commitment to our residents, staff, volunteers, donors and community drives our vision to be a leader in the field of rescue and recovery; providing a continuum of innovative programs and services that encourage and support personal, educational and spiritual growth.

From roundtable to real impact.

This week, our CEO, Brian Johansson joined U.S. Senators McCormick and Fetterman for a conversation on homelessness, housing, and food insecurity hosted by St. Paul’s Neighborhood Center. A highlight? Sharing our vision for The Haven—turning Our Lady of Mt. Carmel into 70 beds of hope for women and children in crisis.

70 pizzas. 248 neighbors fed. One moment that said it all. 🍕❤️

Today, Little Caesars Love Kitchen rolled into Erie City Mission and turned fresh cheese and pepperoni pizzas into full plates and full hearts for 248 members of our community.

But one conversation stuck with us. A man took a bite and looked up and said, “This is amazing...I haven’t had fresh pizza in years.”

That’s the reality we don’t always see. Something so simple, something many of us take for granted, can be something someone hasn’t experienced in years. Moments like this remind us why this work matters.

Thank you, Little Caesars Love Kitchen, for showing up for Erie—and for reminding all of us what an act of generosity can mean to someone. 🙏

Spam Jo Jim—He's one of a kind!🪕

Jim has been donating cans of Spam to the Mission for a while but with a fun twist. With the empty cans he makes these unique banjos (or Spamjos), how cool!

Not only does he provide us with a few Spamjos but a songbook to go along with them.

Thanks, Jim!
