Brothers' Keeper - Gary

𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘:
In the early 1980s, the former Gary Rescue Mission closed its doors to homeless men. Anderson, along with his congregation, other churches, neighborhood associations, and concerned individuals accepted the challenge of reopening a homeless shelter for men and veterans in Gary, IN. The City of Gary and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided funding to renovate the former t

ire shop into a livable space where the residents can transition from homelessness to living independently. On March 16, 1986, Brothers' Keeper, Inc. opened its doors at its current site, which has a 26-bed dorm, a kitchen, shower rooms, and office and dining areas. The facility houses homeless veterans and unhoused men. Brothers' Keeper's current Executive Director W. Isaac Mootye, its Board of Directors, employees, an array of churches, foundations, partnerships, and caring individuals, are continuing Rev. Anderson's legacy.

𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐒
Our foundation and values are based on Matthew 25:35 (KJV) - '𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑛 ℎ𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑑, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑒 𝑔𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑡: 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑦, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑒 𝑔𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑘: 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛.'

Helping those in need, especially homeless men and veterans is our primary goal. After all, we are our Brothers' Keeper.

Brothers' Keeper is dedicated to providing shelter for men in need while also encouraging success. By sharing resources, providing nourishment, guidance, and temporary housing we navigate clients from homelessness to prosperity for themselves and their communities.
