FRIENDSHIP MISSION

Ministering to the homeless men of the Kenai Peninsula

We are a non-profit, Christian men's shelter committed to helping men get back on their feet.  Whatever brought you to this place, we are here for you.  

Our rules may seem odd - harsh even, but they are simply designed to keep our residents in a safe, Christ embraced environment.

Please review the rules below and give us a call or stop by when you are ready or needing such a place.  Welcome!
