Open Door Rescue Mission

CRISIS INTERVENTION

To address the root causes of homelessness, the Open Door Rescue Mission begins by providing the most basic emergency services to those in need. Food, shelter, hygiene services, and spiritual support are available daily.

Food: Hot, nutritious meals are served twice daily at the Mission, often to as many as 75 people.

Shelter: We provide shelter for up to 60 homeless men per night.

Hygiene: So many of us take bathroom use for granted, but for the homeless, having a 24-hour use bathroom restores dignity and allows us to reach out to people we may not otherwise meet.

Mail Services: The Mission serves as a physical address for many of homeless individuals' community wide- a vital service to those who need an address for job applications, family correspondence, and legal issues.

Referrals: We work closely with many other service providers to make sure the homeless population gets all of its needs met. We refer our guests to treatment programs, medical providers, employment programs, and transitional housing facilities when appropriate.

Spiritual Support: Each day our homeless guests are presented with the message of God's love and healing, and presented with the hope of total life recovery.
