Helping Hurting People in Jesus’ Name is our Mission
In times like these…
aren’t you glad there is a Rescue Mission?
Before it is over, someone you love will need the Rescue Mission. It may be a son or daughter, a favorite niece or brother. It may be a neighbor or your best friend. It may even be you.
Since 1948, the Rescue Mission has continued a tradition of comprehensive care to those in crisis. The Rescue Mission is a Christ-centered, grassroots organization offering programs to help people physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually.
The programs are holistic and involve the elements of personal responsibility, self-determination and an internal transformation of values and vision resulting in a restoration of self-respect. The homeless, the hungry, the sick, the addicted, the abused and the hopeless have all found a warm welcome at the Rescue Mission. Men, women and children have found a safe place and compassionate friends in their darkest moments.
Want to Help?
Here are three great ways.
- Volunteer. We’ve got lots of opportunities.
- Bring (or send) us something we need.
- Donate. We’re a certified 501(3)(c) non-profit organization.
