Morristown Non-Profit Awarded Grant From Local Foundation

MORRISTOWN, NJ — Market Street Mission in Morristown said it has received a grant from the F. M. Kirby Foundation to support the nonprofit’s daily services for people in crisis.

According to the Mission, the funding will help keep its doors open for immediate care, including free meals and men’s overnight shelter, along with longer-term help through its men’s Life Change Addiction Recovery Program.

The F. M. Kirby Foundation is headquartered in Morristown and has a goal to “invest in opportunities that foster self-reliance or otherwise create strong, healthy communities.” According to the Mission, the foundation’s support for the organization stretches back more than 60 years.

Market Street Mission said that support has helped hundreds of men find restoration through its addiction recovery program. The organization also said the foundation’s backing has sustained thousands more people facing hardships, including hunger and homelessness, during times of critical need.

“We’re deeply grateful for the long-standing partnership of the F. M. Kirby Foundation and their commitment to changing lives right here in our community,” says Gordon Dahl, Market Street Mission CEO. “This kind of faithful support over the span of decades is what makes long-term stability and transformation a reality for the people we serve. We extend our sincere thanks to the Foundation staff and Board of Directors for making our work possible.”
