The Rescue Mission of Salt Lake

The Rescue Mission of Salt Lake has been a cornerstone of hope and transformation in the Salt Lake City community since its establishment in 1972. As a faith-based nonprofit organization, its mission is to "Restore Broken Lives" by addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction.

Comprehensive Services Offered

Recognizing that homelessness is a complex issue requiring holistic solutions, the Rescue Mission offers a range of programs designed to meet both immediate and long-term needs:

- Emergency Services: Providing daily meals, safe shelter, clothing, hygiene facilities, and crisis counseling to ensure immediate relief for those in distress.

- New Life Recovery Program: A year-long addiction recovery initiative that guides individuals from the streets to sobriety, faith, employment, and stable housing.

- Transitions Program: Assisting individuals who are ready to re-enter the workforce by offering a stable home base, job leads, and support, facilitating a swift transition back into independent living.

Impactful Success Stories

The true measure of the Rescue Mission's impact lies in the lives transformed through its programs:

-Maria's Journey: After facing homelessness and addiction, Maria found refuge at the Rescue Mission. Through their support, she achieved sobriety, reconnected with her faith, secured employment, and now enjoys a renewed relationship with her children.

- Mark's Transformation: Once struggling with substance abuse and homelessness, Mark entered the New Life Recovery Program. Today, he is employed, housed, and actively involved in his community, exemplifying the profound change possible through the Mission's support.

The Rescue Mission thrives on the generosity and involvement of the Salt Lake City community:

- Volunteer Opportunities: Community members are encouraged to participate in various capacities, from serving meals to mentoring program participants, fostering a spirit of unity and shared purpose.

- Donations and Drives: The Mission welcomes contributions of clothing, food, and essentials, ensuring that those in need receive comprehensive support.
