The Need Is Growing!
Since 1925, Community Missions has served the Niagara community. While needs have always been present, the past decade has seen a tremendous increase in demand for the Mission's services. Today, more than one quarter (27.5%) of residents in the city of Niagara Falls live below the poverty line, including an astonishing 43% of children within the city.
