What do we do?
Mission Outpost is an outreach ministry of Prince of Peace. It exists as a place to create servant hearts in those that volunteer and to provide services that address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the community. It is a safe place for people of all ages, races and religious affiliations. We provide food, clothing, linens, and furniture to those who come to Mission Outpost.

Who do we serve?
Many of those we serve are referred by public health nurses or other professionals. Others come referred by family and friends or other churches. Some are members of our congregation; most are not and many do not have a church affiliation. Many are recent immigrants working minimum wage jobs and doing their best to support their families in our country.

Where are we located?
Mission Outpost is located in the lower level of the Christian Life Center at Prince of Peace, directly opposite Fairview Ridges Hospital.

How do we receive donations?
Donation bins are located by all outside doors of both the Worship Center and the Christian Life Center. We accept non-perishable food, clean clothing and linens in the donation bins.
