Learn How Your Support Fuels Our Ministry
Homelessness in Evansville and across Vanderburgh County is increasing.
The number of people experiencing homelessness has steadily increased over the past few years as more people in our community have found themselves struggling… emotionally, financially, and spiritually.
Addiction & Overdose Deaths Are Increasing
Why?
Rise in availability & cheaper cost of opioids – in 2021, Vanderburgh County had 106 overdose deaths. That’s up from 67 deaths in 2020 – a 58% increase.
“I started using drugs… and I didn’t like how much I wanted them.”
— Michael | ERM Resident
More People Are Living In Poverty Or Becoming Homeless
Why?
Finding affordable housing & difficulty earning a living wage.
“I lost my job because of the pandemic… and became homeless.
— Thomas | ERM Resident
Mental Illness Is Going Untreated
Why?
High cost of medication & lack of specialized care available.
“Before I came to the Mission, I was a broken man, spiritually, physically, and mentally.”
— Anthony | ERM Resident
But there is HOPE!
Thanks to your support, our doors are open 365 days a year to our Tri-State area neighbors who need personal and spiritual change in their lives.

My drinking was already out of control when my wife passed away. Losing her was too much to take… I’m thankful for this Mission because they’ve given me a new life.”
