This Holiday Season, Be the Reason Someone Finds Hope and a Home
The holiday season is defined by the profound feeling of belonging, safety, and comfort. Yet, for our neighbors facing homelessness, the cold realities of winter only deepen their struggle. At the Gospel Rescue Mission, we believe everyone deserves the peace of a safe haven—especially now.
Your desire to make a difference this Christmas can be a powerful force for transformation. We invite you to explore the many meaningful ways you can stand with us—whether by offering a few hours of your time and skills, donating essential goods and supplies, or providing crucial financial support.
Every single contribution is more than a gift; it is a vital step on the journey from homelessness to wholeness. Learn all the ways you can share the warmth of the season and see exactly where your generosity is put to work—from funding critical support in our Pathway to Independence program to creating stable, permanent housing at MissionView Village.

Opening the Door to Home: The MissionView Village Project
MissionView Village is our innovative, long-term solution to a heartbreaking reality: dignified, affordable housing for older adults transitioning out of crisis. This dedicated 55+ community directly addresses the needs of our senior neighbors on fixed incomes who are often priced out of the housing market.
This village is far more than just affordable housing. It provides residents with safe, permanent independent living and ongoing case management to ensure they maintain stability and dignity. Your generous contribution helps turn construction blueprints into forever homes, ending the cycle of homelessness for a highly vulnerable population. By contributing, you’re not just donating; you’re funding a compassionate, sustainable future that offers true peace of mind.
Finding the Road to Home: Gifting a New Beginning
Finding a home is the start, but achieving independence is the mission. The Pathway to Independence is the Gospel Rescue Mission’s comprehensive program that equips residents with the skills, resources, and support necessary to leave homelessness behind for good.
Your donation ensures our residents receive personalized case management, job training, counseling, and mentorship. This program transforms a temporary shelter stay into a genuine opportunity for transformation. This holiday season, you can give more than just a place to stay; you can give the gift of self-sufficiency and the tools needed to maintain a home long after the holidays are over.
