WHO WE ARE:
As our mission statement says, the Tacoma Rescue Mission, is about sharing God’s love, hope, and support with our neighbors in need to uplift our whole community. It’s been our driving purpose since 1912, when we opened our first men’s shelter and kitchen.
This ministry has since grown to provide emergency services like nutritious meals and safe shelter to men, women, and families, transitional and permanent housing facilities and programs to support on-going stability, and faith-based addiction recovery programs that empower men and women to step into new lives.
WHAT WE DO:
Meals - Our Good Neighbor Café provides over 800 meals a day to vulnerable ADULTS and children. Each meal CAN BE THE first step toward a new life.
Emergency shelter, support, and care - We offer safe refuge to men, women, and families experiencing homelessness. While staying with us, shelter guests have access to daily meals, showers, laundry, hygiene supplies, case management, housing support, youth programming, employment navigation services, veteran resources, and more.
Clothing and living essentials - Our clothing room is open to the public weekly, offering clothing and other living essentials to our neighbors in need.
Housing - Our permanent housing sites offer subsidized rent, clean and sober living, and supportive care for families as well as individuals with mental or physical disabilities exiting out of homelessness. We continue to support them through case management, mental health counseling, life-skills development, and career navigation.
Addiction recovery - Our New life Recovery Program is a twelve-month, faith-based recovery program for men and women battling addiction. We offer an environment that combines nurturing support with structure and accountability, helping restore and support all areas of life: physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and more.
Street outreach - Our Street Outreach teams meet our unsheltered neighbors right where they are at to offer food, clothing, living essentials, and access to life-changing resources and services as well as build healing relationships.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
If you'd like to partner with us in transforming lives and uplifting our community, there are several opportunities!
1. Give a gift - Your financial support helps ensure that the transformation and restoration happening in the lives of our hurting neighbors and our community continues. This ministry is YOUR ministry.
2. Donate goods - Donate much-needed clothing, hygiene items, blankets and more to men, women and children experiencing homelessness in our community. You can also partner with us to host a donation drive at your workplace, school, neighborhood, or other community area.
3. Volunteer - Volunteering is an amazing way to get involved in changing lives in a hands-on way. We are always looking for volunteers to serve meals at our Downtown or Family campus, sort goods at our donation center, serve in our youth program, help keep our shelters and campuses beautiful for our guests, go out with our street outreach teams (18+), and more. You can feel great knowing that you are making a difference AND build a community of people who are dedicated to making a difference, too! We also offer high impact volunteer and internship opportunities for those who are interested in serving in a greater, long-term capacity.
