The City Gate Spokane

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money for The City Gate Spokane, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. City Gate is in desperate need of financial support right now. As the homeless population in Spokane has tripled over the last 3 years it has put a strain on the budget.

The City Gate is a non-profit organization that is first and foremost a church with the purpose of RECLAIMING, REBUILDING & RESTORING Lost and Broken Lives. It begin this mission by providing a “gathering place” at our downtown location that’s open to the public with no limitation of persons.

The City Gate was formally incorporated on April 26, 1988 as the result of several pastors from local churches banding together to create a church to specifically meet the needs of Spokane’s inner-city dwellers. The first location was on First Avenue across from the old bus station. The second location was at the Otis Hotel. Both were “store front” operations with very small kitchens. It was recognized very early on that social needs were present in this population as well as spiritual needs, and so food and clothing banks were set up.

The present location at 170 S. Madison (The Alberta House)  is in the heart of downtown. Purchased and renovated in June 2000 it continues to serve both the inner-city and homeless of Spokane as a church, social drop-in center, food bank,  clothing bank, life skills & social services as well as low cost housing and emergency shelter rooms.
