Resource Center
La Mesa Ministries operates a resource center in Mesa. We walk alongside brothers and sisters and help connect them with needed services. From filling out forms, to making appointments, to catching a ride to an interview, we are here to help.
In addition, we provide:
- Mail services for official documents and letters for those who cannot afford a post office box
- Caseworkers who can help find housing solutions based on individuals’ needs and situations.
- One on one personal assistance with ID’s, Driver’s License, Birth Certificates, and Social Security Cards. There is also assistance with Federal Assistance applications.
Most importantly, people entering La Mesa Ministries will immediately see and feel the love of Jesus. On the walls, in the music, in the Bibles and literature available to read and especially in the love and compassion of those who serve – Jesus’ love and forgiveness will be everywhere. The Gospel will be shared, and prayers spoken.
