Mission accomplished! You raised $50,000 for the Mission

Thank you for helping us meet our December matching gift challenge! Your support raised thousands of dollars for our homeless friends and made a Merry Christmas and joyful holiday season possible for many. We are deeply grateful for your generosity. Please take a moment to enjoy the pictures from our holiday outreaches on the right.

Data shows that more help and love are still needed

Despite this wonderful blessing from God, it was sobering to read the January HUD annual report on the number of individuals experiencing homelessness. For Utah, the report found:

A 5% increase in homelessness over the past year.

Looking back to 2007, homelessness in Utah has risen by 28.5%.

At the Rescue Mission this December:

71 people who had never walked through our doors before came in and asked for help.

At the Mission, our facilities are among the few faith-based programs dedicated to helping people transition into faith, sobriety, employment, and permanent housing. We are able to boldly offer faith-based solutions because we receive no government funds and rely entirely on the generosity of donors like you. By choosing not to accept government support, we can provide free, Bible-centered programs to our homeless friends. Whether they need rapid rehousing, a short-term stay after a job loss, or a life-transformation program with God at the center, we are here to help.

Please prayerfully consider the statistics above and how you might get involved. Whether through volunteering, praying, donating needed items, or giving financially, your support is essential as we continue to tackle this growing issue in a God-centered way.
