Fellowship Missions

What Fellowship Missions does

Fellowship Missions is a private, faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 1520 E Winona Ave in Warsaw, Indiana, founded in 2010 to serve unhoused individuals, families, and those affected by substance use in Kosciusko County. The organization delivers an integrated service stack comprising an Emergency Shelter (safe beds, meals, showers, laundry, counseling), the Catalyst Program (structured life-skills, employment, education, and spiritual mentoring), an Addiction Recovery Hub (referrals, education, recovery mentors), The Gathering Place community hub at 123 S Buffalo St (classes, therapy, workshops, Bible studies), The Haven and The Shop (support for teen parents), and the It's All Good Food Truck & Catering operation that combines community meals with resident job training. The platform is intentionally Christ-centered, with an explicit Statement of Faith underpinning programming, and operates within a dense local partner ecosystem of 20+ churches, healthcare providers, behavioral health organizations, and foundations.

The business model is donations-led rather than transaction-based: revenue is generated from individual gifts, corporate and foundation contributions, in-kind donations, event fundraising (Run For Hope, Canal Days Cardboard Boat Regatta, Night of Hope & Inspiration banquet), a $60/month recurring giving program, and modest earned revenue from the food truck. No fees are charged to service recipients, and the organization explicitly does not receive government funding. Go-to-market relies on organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X), a content blog, email prayer-and-updates newsletters, community events, and referral-driven intake via partner organizations. Supporting integrations include VolunteerHub for volunteer management, RunSignUp for event registration, Amazon Wishlist for in-kind gifts, and the CAREs Resources directory for beneficiary referrals — but no proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

Leadership consists of Co-Founders Eric Lane (Executive Director) and Tammy Lane (Volunteer Director), supported by a roughly 13-person staff spanning development, program coordination, food service, mental health therapy (LMHC/LCAC/RN credentialed), resident coordination (men's and women's), accounting, and executive assistance. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors that includes Jerry Yeager, Denny Wilson, Joni Zook, Greg Dearborn, Cameron Silveus, and Tom Roy. The organization is a member of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM), a 300+ affiliate global network that provides curriculum, training, and operational support.
