About CityTeam
CityTeam Ministries dba CityTeam is a non-denominational Christian non-profit organization founded in 1957 with operations in California, Oregon and Pennsylvania. CityTeam's mission is to share Christ's unconditional and redemptive love by caring for immediate needs and enabling lasting solutions. For six decades, CityTeam has been working to address poverty, hunger, homelessness and addiction in our communities. Today, the face of poverty is changing. Driven by rising costs of living, a growing number of our neighbors are living with food insecurity, and the number of people experiencing homelessness is rapidly expanding. At CityTeam, we are responding to these growing needs by continuing to enhance our programs. We know that the best way to prevent homelessness is to stop it before it takes hold of someone's life. To that end, CityTeam's strategic plan and five-year vision is designed to continue its core food, shelter and residential programs, while becoming increasingly effective in our approach to poverty alleviation and the solutions that we provide for the unhoused.
