ABOUT US
The Tioga County Open Door Mission is a faith-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been serving the community since 1968. Our mission is to provide essential services such as housing, clothing, food, and financial support to disadvantaged and needy families in Tioga County and the surrounding areas. We believe in fostering compassion and community engagement. With the support of our dedicated team and volunteers, we operate thrift stores that help fund our shelter and outreach programs. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those in need.
