On the outside what can I say Skid Row Skid Row Skid Row
Great staff, awsome resources available, here im offered a chance to start over
Selfless service to the needy and hopeless. Mission.
This place changes lives if you are an alcoholic or addict and do the work.
I am court ordered here for one year and I have been here for 90 days. It's been an intense journey so far. Today I have 158 days of sobriety! Yay!
Honestly... the food, as expected, is comparable to any county funded institution "cuisine", (and, yes- I both regrettably and gratefully- speak from experience) But just the fact that the Midnight Mission trudges on, fighting the seemingly unwinnable fight called "homelessness" should earn them nothing less than 3 stars in my book. And this is my book (!?). The fish was unidentifiable and slimy however the bones came in handy to pick out what I can only guess was some sort of potatoes au gratin (potatoes gone rotten) that seemed perfectly happy stuck between my teeth. We'll leave it at that.
The best part was keeping these two dudes AWAY from my kids...Now-if only I can enforce this Judgment, me and my three daughters can live free and un_________!! But, this is only America, where poor people do not get the luxury of rites, freedom, and privacy...oh well, we're breathing!!
Very helpful and great food, very good, caseworkers ok good. Two out of them I recommended too. But they help with jobs. Matter of 3 months you can start working a small job here. Beds are mostly clean all the time. They do a bed clean each month. Bathrooms get cleaned very good each day. Shower as much as you want... Buffet all you can eat. Jobs, opportunities here, help you with housing. Club here, they can get you connected to resources quickly then most shelters. Got plenty of programs you can get connected to while here in this shelter. 80% of the people you see are volunteers. Very good with people, very layback and it's nice. Great gym and everything.
Beefy, hearty meals set the standard for what a meal is suppose to be. The streets around may appear hostile at times but nothing a busy schedule couldn't squash. Do something!
They are doing the best they can, especially what they have to work with. All in all, we need to keep them around. Lots of good service and helpful for the community and the impoverished people!
They help every one out who needs help very polite people and understanding
Its an okay place, but I wouldn't recommend anyone go there unless they truly want a life change and are disciplined.
Never had the chance to visit, but I do know one thing. Clancy I. made a huge change and positive difference in 40 + years he worked at the Midnight Mission coupled with the people who serve in all their capacities. Seeing Georgia full of joy is a reflection of the love she and others have for the Midnight Mission. Bless you all! RIP Clancy.
Thank you for letting me use your facilities. I very much enjoyed that corned beef a few months ago. The Entree and other appreciative diners made me feel like I was in a better place. I'll try to make it this HOLIDAY SEASON to enjoy.
If you are cool with eating with the homeless it's cool
I came here for some food. They give out good stuff.
This is one of the best causes you can spend time with in all of LA. The human suffering in this city is real and they need your help to continue to support those folks in need.
Midnight is a good place with good people and help for people in need. However there is one staff member a big tall man who works in at night in the emergency shelter. That man cusses all night, he is negative, intimidating, obnoxious, and i never will stay there again as long as he works there.
Very bad scenery wouldn t recommend nobody go that way
Horrible incompetent mismanaged organization. Should not receive public funding. Should revoke nonprofit status. Needs new Board of Directors, no strategic plan, no accountability
This is a rescue type place and helping is a good thing for those seeking help to change their lives.
Wonderful food breakfast, lunch and dinner. Large portions as well.
Great people run this place. Angels with human faces!
The Midnight Mission is a home for lost traveled of L.A..The homeless can find three meals a day, showers, shelter,and their new home could be found here and through services provided to any one who is in need.Men, Women and children can play here. A most amazing eye opener the Midnight Mission had for me tonight. While visiting the cafeteria after hours for a meeting my eyes were drawn to the absolute, most possible cleanliness of kitchens still serving food at a fast pace unloved atmosphete ever to be seen by my eyes. I have worked everywhere fine dining military, schools, you name it. The hard work and dedication can certainly be seen in the Midnight Mission kitchen. 5 stars to you A fotever gtade Sincerly your niegbor and client Chris lyon
I was homeless when I came here know I have my own place with a kitchen and bathroom it came with my room I had nothing to put in my room but a Staff member buy the Name of Marty went out of his way to help me God bless him Know I have a 40 inch TV Microwave oven utensils Thank you Marry
I like the midnight mission, because it works for me,just as Long as I stay focused on my recovery,
A great organization with an awesome mission! The fact that they have never closed their doors in over 100 years is impressive. I strongly recommend that everyone volunteer here at least once and get a tour of their building.
Multiple lives have been changed due to direct response to working with community needs and development in recovery and transformation of living skills.
Good lunch when in need. Great cafeteria service and servers
I love everything about this place. Such a great foundation with so much to offer and wonderful staff and volunteers!
Only Mission left that's all about helping PEOPLE U GO MIDNIGHT u make me tear up
It 's not only a safe haven. It is a great place of great opportunities...
This place has no dorms. If they had dorms I'd give it 5
Very helpful for the homeless and those who need emergency assistance.

A perfect example of how non-profit organizations with good intentions, have unethical staff members that have no regard for the population they were designed to help. Rita Richardson, women's program director, should be reevaluated and be held accountable for the lack of structure and program guidelines.
It's a great place if you need. A place to stay. But be prepared. You will see a lot of homeless people. Doing drugs outside of the places. As no people sleeping on the sidewalks.
Hey you all Midnight Mission staff and clients I wonder how you all are doing hope you guys are getting off the streets cuz I'm working on getting myself off the streets I'm looking forward to coming back to LA and just figuring out something else besides shelter I didn't really enjoy the shelter yeah it was okay but a little bit it was kind of mean people there too not so nice people at the shelter but just wanted to say hi everybody in LA County San Pedro Avenue how you all doing
I was last living there in 2016. Bridge Program was fairly new, so a lot of the logistics had not been worked out yet. I have visited periodically since then and it looks much improved.
Was here during covid. Meals were filling. Starbucks sandwiches sometimes. Arrive early.
I didn't visit that place, I was passing by, but I sow people on the street sitting on pup and food everywhere on the floor. I think Google should get involved with this kind of situation. I meant since google is in to everything this days.

Helping restore men, women and children back to self sufficiency.
Too centered around mythology for me,but if you find yourself in a bind and need shelter or food they provide it. Centered in skid row, so hopefully you can deal with homeless people.
Another place where you can get help with an assortment of issues; housing, addiction help, etc
It's trying to do the right thing for the homeless.
If you're homeless it isn't getting much better then this
Took the tour of the place and had a chance to volunteer for lunch service. This place is doing so much for our homeless community as well as recovering addicts. From health programs to education and food service this place strives to do the most with every cent they get.
It's a wonderful place not only do I love working here but the vibe gives you that sense of I'm home type of feeling
A place for recovery addicts to get a new start that want help. I would recommend anyone there that want help from drugs and alcohol.
The have one of the best drug and alcohol programs in La. They are connected with a lot of established organizations who provide resources for the community.
They have an excellent recovery program they do so much to help homeless people it is just a great place
