Ruth and Naomi’s Mission

About Us

Ruth and Naomi’s Mission has been in Chilliwack for over 20 years. From handing out sandwiches to the homeless in downtown Chilliwack, we have grown to encompass three locations in Chilliwack – and from 4 employees to almost 100! We are operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

In our Community of Chilliwack, we serve 300 meals each day; we place 120 people into permanent housing every year; and, we support 35 residential recovery beds for men and women… just to name a few of our services. As our Mission Statement says, We are here to transform the lives of the poor, the homeless and the addicted by bringing hope and healing through the love of God.

Ruth and Naomi’s is a faith based Mission and as such is the foundation upon which the operation is based.

As we grow, we need more caring passionate people to join us in the following position:
