Welcome From Executive Director, Richard Trickel

Welcome to The City Mission’s web page. Since 1910, the City Mission has been providing help and hope to Cleveland’s neediest residents. I marvel as I look back and see countless examples of God’s faithfulness to us over all those years! We count it a privilege to be here and rejoice in the opportunity to serve as God’s ambassadors.

In the early days, the Mission was known as the “downtown arm of the church”. We still think of ourselves in that light. Hundreds of volunteers, from scores of churches, labor together with us. Without these faithful volunteers, we could not provide the scope of ministry we presently have.

As we look to the future, we are confident in God’s direction, we are relying on His strength and we trust Him day by day for His provision. We eagerly anticipate the challenges and opportunities He will bring our way and we willingly submit ourselves for His use. Would you join with us in this great work of “reaching hearts and changing lives” in the city of Cleveland?

As you read through the web page you will discover many opportunities for partnership. Whether you choose to pray, give, or volunteer we welcome your involvement. Thank you for your interest in The City Mission.

Everlastingly at it,

Richard Trickel
Executive Director
