Building on a Solid Foundation

Last month, we informed in our e-news that our board of directors, with community guidance, has decided to take the GIFTS foundation to the next level to continue developing our mission and vision. We recognized the significance of upholding the values upon which this ministry has been built and the need for our mission to expand. This growth will enable us to hold ourselves and our guests accountable with a defined mission that falls into reportable pillars.

We are excited to unveil our updated mission statement:

GIFTS relies on the teachings of Christ and, in partnership with the community, provides resources to bring hope and transformation to the lives of

unsheltered men in Rock County.

GIFTS updated vision:

Guided by Christ's teachings and the help of the community,

GIFTS aspires to eradicate homelessness in Rock County.

Moving forward, we will be concentrating on Christ, Community, and Collaboration. Our GIFTS team affectionately calls these the Three C's. Follow us here and on social media to see how we develop these in the upcoming year.

THANK YOU!!

Words seem inadequate to tell you what is in our hearts! The GIFTS guests and team are in awe of how you supported the shelter over the holidays. Each smile, prayer, meal, cookie, volunteer time, and donation means the world to us.
