Pacific Garden Mission

Pacific Garden Mission is a homeless shelter which is located in the Near West Side section of Chicago, Illinois, it was founded in 1877[1] by Colonel George Clarke and his wife, Sarah.

"[2] Two people who converted to Christianity as a result of PGM's efforts are the famous evangelists Billy Sunday and Mel Trotter.

In 1950, the Mission began production of Unshackled!, a radio dramatic series which showcases conversions to Evangelical Christianity.

In 1923, the Mission moved to 646 S. State Street, just south of The Loop, following a shift in the location of Chicago's Skid Row.

PGM's State Street building was slated for demolition in order to make room for the Jones expansion.
