Mission 25 Team Working

Mission 25’s Vision

Our vision at Mission 25 is to foster long-term success for every person who participates in Mission 25 programming.

Changing Lives

Mission 25 provides a pathway for recovery, prevention and support for those at risk of housing displacement, substance use disorder, domestic violence, barriers to success, and those feeling hopeless. We will work with individuals and families in Northeast Indiana who are seeking a better way of living.

Testimonial

"Mission 25 continues to work with individuals through the ups and downs of their transition to a new way of life, even if that sometimes takes longer than expected. That kind of grace is rare in our world, but when it is found there is real hope."
