Our Goal

The goal of The Open Door is to serve the community with more than simply offering a free meal.  It is our objective to provide opportunities for people to increase their individual self esteem so they would be enabled to become a productive member of society. 

Welcome to The Open Door Mission in Glens Falls, NY

The Open Door is a Christian Ministry dedicated to reaching out and serving the needs of the homeless and unfortunate of our community regardless of race, color, creed or sexual orientation.  This is accomplished through the provision of nutritious meals served in a welcoming environment.

In operation since 1991, the program began by serving a meal once a week.  From there, the program has expanded to a six day operation, recently serving more than 5000 meals each month (since 2004 our meal numbers have more than quadrupled), distribution of gleaned and other food items to over 30 agencies and approximately 800 people in Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties (targeting individuals and families that are in great need and are not in current receipt of other assistance or services). 

The Open Door also provides guests with encouragement for daily living, including sponsorship of a 12-step recovery program, an informal mentoring program, informal monitoring of abused and neglected people.
