Midnight Mission
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Midnight Mission is a human services organization in the Skid Row area of downtown Los Angeles.[1][2] It was founded in 1914.[3] A secular non-profit,[4][5] the organization provides food, drug and alcohol recovery services, "safe sleep" programs, educational training, a mobile kitchen, and family housing with an emphasis on developing self-sufficiency.
The term "midnight mission" was common in the 19th and early 20th centuries to designate efforts by domestic missionaries in the United States against so-called "white slavery", a deprecated term for prostitution.[6][7]
