About Market Street Mission

At our locations in Morristown, Asbury Park, and Paterson, the Market Street Mission cares for immediate needs today and long-term needs for a stable, independent tomorrow.

We currently have Part-Time and Full-Time positions available!

OUR MISSION

Our mission at Market Street is to surround our homeless, hungry and those struggling with addiction with God’s love and everything they need to get back on their feet – food and shelter, counseling and job training, spiritual guidance and Bible study – to live stable, productive lives in our community.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to empower hurting people to rebuild their lives through the power of Jesus Christ. With His love guiding them, and with a strong community of believers surrounding them, we believe they will claim victory over their struggles.
