The Everett Gospel Mission was established in 1961 and is now the largest Faith-Based organization to the homeless in Snohomish, Skagit, San Juan and Island counties.  The clients that come to EGM are most often devoid of resources, living well below the poverty level.  To provide dignity and compassionate care, EGM offers free meals, housing for 125-150 men each night at our Men's Shelter and for 75 women & children each night at our Women and Children's Shelter, as well as reduced rental units for up to 10 single women at Lydia house.

We provide substances abuse counseling, clothing, toiletries, showers, laundry, Bible training classes, access to Therapeutic Day care and three hot, nutritious meals every day of the year.

Self-sufficiency, family and individual stability, and human dignity have always been at the heart of the EGM. Therefore, we never turn away anyone who is truly in need, regardless of present or past lifestyle.

We seek to provide these vital services in a setting that is both Faith-Based and professional.  EGM is a 501C3, locally managed by a Board of Directors and our CEO, Sylvia Anderson.  EGM is a member of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, of which there are 290 such Missions in North America.

We are primarily supported by the sustained monthly contributions from friends of EGM and church donations, along with private foundations, grants, major donors, and special projects and events.  EGM is audited on an annual basis by an independent accounting firm.  A copy of our financial statements are available on request.
