Administrative History
The Muncie Mission was founded in October 1930 by Reverend Eddie Thomas in Muncie, Indiana.
The building had been donated by the First Baptist Church. The Reverend Eddie Thomas founded the
Mission to help men left destitute and bewildered by the economic depression of the 1930s. In addition
to providing meals, the Mission also had chapel services, singing, and provided opportunities for people
to share their experiences. The Mission has expanded to provide numerous services, including shelter for
the homeless and job programs in East Central Indiana. They also operate several thrift stores with all
proceeds going to fund programming.
