Who We Are

Raleigh Rescue Mission was founded in 1961 to minister to the growing needs of homeless and hurting men, women and children in our community.  For over 45 years the Mission has shared Christ’s love with people in need and helped them to rebuild their lives.  Raleigh Rescue Mission has helped thousands of people begin their journey toward lasting life change by meeting their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

The Mission offers both a long-term recovery program and emergency shelter for men, women and children.  The Mission provides safe housing, clothing and three healthy meals a day, as well as recovery, Christian counseling and other support services to help them achieve their goals and ultimately make a successful transition back into the community.  Raleigh Rescue Mission provides free medical care services to residents through our on-site Medical and Pediatric Clinic and preschool age children receive teaching and loving care in our Children’s Development Center.  Residents receive job and computer skills training, as well as life skills and educational classes, such as GED, in our Adult Learning Center.

Raleigh Rescue Mission is a Christian, interdenominational 501 (c) (3) nonprofit agency and a member in good standing of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions and the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.  Your contributions to the Mission are tax-deductible.
