We're celebrating The City Mission's 100th anniversary from June 2010 until June 2011. You'll find information quickly in the links to our press releases and media kit to the right.
Our hope durig our centennial year is to:
- Spotlight content and people of the Mission’s current programs and how lives are being transformed
- Highlight the events, people and places of our past:
Planned August 2010 release of the book A Door of Hope: The Story of the City Mission of Cleveland, 1910-2010
Collect and share “100 Stories of 100 Years”
These are the stories of clients, graduates, volunteers, staff, and other lives that have been impacted by The City Mission. It will continue as an oral history project in the future as we attempt to collect these stories from people who are now outside of Northeast Ohio and as people share their stories in the future.
- Bring thousands of former and current Clevelanders and visitors to the “Celebration of Hope” at the Wolstein Center on Oct. 2, 2010:
A multi-media celebratory event with national and local performers and a combined choir
A call to action for attendees to volunteer with the Mission or our partnering agencies and non-profits to help those in need in our city
- Encourage people to donate time or resources:
Current operations
Endowment Foundation
Items and projects on our “100 Wishes for the 100th Anniversary” (Details coming soon!)
- Pray for the city and for The City Mission
- Have hundreds of people tour The City Mission’s E.55th and Carnegie campus or Laura’s Home to learn more about the Mission and its work for themselves (schedule a tour or current group tour dates on our Calendar)
