Thank you to our Donors:
Back-To-School Shoes for our kids!!!
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our donors we were able to take our kids out to the Payless Shoe Source at Westfield Mall and purchase a brand new pair of shoes for each child! Wow what a blessing, the squeals of joy truly warmed our hearts!
Pictured above is just one of the groups of families that we took, and the appreciation is quite evident!
Thank you so much for your support of these children this fall! |

Meet the Staff of PCM:
Brett Anderson
Brett came to PCM in October of 2008 after graduating from Wesleyan. He had graduated with a degree in Physics but had a heart for helping the homeless. You see, Brett had experienced homelessness first hand while in college. He'd had to choose between college and a place to live and chose to tough-out the semester, living in his van. Brett said the experience was much harder, and colder, than he had expected it to be.
After graduation Brett went on a mission's trip to Tucson, AZ where he lived among the homeless for two months, ministering the love of Christ, although he admits it's much warmer to be homeless in AZ than in NE.
Brett came back to NE and took a position here as a Supervisor in our shelter. Brett says his favorite thing about his job is the opportunity to work with people who are broken, have hit bottom and are ready for a change. He says it's an "amazing opportunity" to pour into souls and to have so many chances to demonstrate God's love. Brett considers it an honor to be able to impact lives for Christ here at PCM, but even more so, to be considered worthy of doing it.
Likewise, the People's City Mission feels honored to have amazing staff such as Brett on our team. Thanks for all you do! |
