Jackie Davis
CEO and Mission Director

Jackie Davis heads City Mission Ministries, the umbrella organization that operates the City Mission of Las Vegas as well as those in Riverside, California and San Bernardino, California.

Since she was young, Jackie’s passion has been to take care of the needy—to teach them, give them tools to better their lives, and introduce them to Jesus Christ. So she was thrilled to help found the City Mission of Las Vegas in 1998, where needy people could receive a hot meal, a warm blanket, a pair of shoes, and a safe place to rest.

Before that, Jackie worked with the Los Angeles Mission, San Diego Rescue Mission, Orange County Rescue Mission, and San Fernando Rescue Mission. She moved furniture, cleaned restrooms, led Bible Studies, bandaged wounded men, drove BIG trucks, and held lonely seniors as they cried. She was grateful for the woman who gave $5,000—and got excited when a child sold his toys at a yard sale to raise $10 for the hungry. It’s all part of helping the helpless. And that's where Jackie’s heart is.
