Los Angeles Mission is a non-profit, privately supported, faith-based organization established to serve the immediate and long-term needs of homeless and disadvantaged men, women, and children.
Reverend I.L. Eldridge founded the original mission in 1936. During its early years, the Los Angeles Mission was located at three different addresses, but moved to 443 South Los Angeles Street in 1949, where it operated until January 1992. The current 156,000-square-foot facility, located at 303 East 5th Street, opened and began operations on January 21, 1992.
Having begun as a small rescue mission, it is now among the nation's largest service providers to the homeless. Los Angeles Mission continues to provide, on a large scale, hot meals, safe shelter, clothing, personal care and life-transforming long-term rehabilitation to hungry, hurting and homeless men, women and children.
