Mission: The rescue mission alliance's primary purpose is to establish and operate rescue missions to reach the less fortunate with the gospel of jesus christ and to assist in the feeding, clothing and lodging of those who are destitute or homeless. With the support of our community, we offer: refuge - food, clothing, and shelter for those in need, recovery - biblically based programs to minister to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit, and restoration - equipping people to lead productive and independent lives. Our target population is poor and homeless men, women and children of all ages, ethnicity or religious beliefs, located in ventura, santa barbara, los angeles, and san bernardino counties. These activities are carried out through five unique rescue missions and one food bank. The organization operates seven thrift stores dedicated to the rehabilitation of men and women in recovery.
Programs: Rescue mission alliance has been a safe haven for over 45 years for those in desperate need of food, clothing, shelter, and support to resolve hunger and homelessness. We have grown in our ability to provide biblically-based residential programs aimed at breaking the cycle of alcohol and drug dependency, teaching life skills, vocational training and providing residents with supportive services and aftercare to maintain productive and independent lives. Rescue mission alliance operates six separate outreach programs located in santa barbara, ventura, los angeles, and san bernardino counties which daily carry out our mission to offer refuge, recovery, and restoration for those in need. We operate 15 facilities and manage 411 units of housing that provide emergency shelter and support services, residential recovery, and transitional housing. We also operate a food bank that provides over 4 million pounds of food each year to thousands of needy individuals. With the support of over 150,000 donors and more than 6,785 volunteers last year, the rescue mission alliance served 356,426 meals, distributed 34,785 articles of clothing, provided 92,184 nights of safe shelter, graduated 79 drug and alcohol recovery program clients, and moved 121 families into transitional or stable housing. We believe strongly in accountability and hold a third-party accreditation by the evangelical council for financial accountability, which verifies the integrity of financial reports and systems. Further, we are a member of the national association of gospel rescue missions, through which we have earned a "certificate of excellence" for "exceptional commitment to quality in both management and programming. " in addition, charity navigator has given rescue mission alliance its highest rating of 4 stars six years in a row.
