The Rescue Mission has been compassionately serving all in Jesus's name since 1957!  Faith is not a requirement for services rendered.  

The Mission rescues over 119 Tons of food a year and prepares over 69,000 meals for residents at both The Mission & Hope Cottage.  Food is "rescued" from local grocery stores, items close to expiration.  Instead of this food landing in local dumpsters, we feed thousands.  We are deeply grateful for the food that sustains this ministry.

New Life Foundations 

A voluntary long-term, faith-based recovery and restoration program.  A time of resting in the arms of Christ and re-discovering your life's greater purpose.
The New Life Foundations Program is a twelve-month intensive, faith-based restoration program.  This is a voluntary program designed for those who want to experience the radical love of Jesus and a renewed hope for the future.  Participants are called Disciples and they take part in daily classes that include Conflict Resolution, Spiritual Warfare, Prayer Life, Discipleship, Healing & Restoration, Genesis Process and Jobs for Life.  Job Training Programs are also part of the program.  Each disciple will be given a Mentor that will be asked to SUPPORT the disciple physically, mentally and spiritually.  We believe that faith in action with the healthy mentorship of education and tools, re-engage an individual for life!  After 6-9 months in the program, disciples will begin searching for employment to become fully re-engaged with our community.
