Hot Showers... Hearty Meals

“and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy
the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the
darkness, and your night will become like the noonday”
Isaiah 58:10
 

Rescue S.O.S.

A hot shower and clean clothes

 

The goal of Rescue S.O.S. (Survival Outreach Services) is to meet the basic, life-essential needs of homeless individuals and families and to serve as a link to social services in the community, including the organization's own emergency shelter, residential substance abuse recovery, and transitional housing programs. The road to recovery for many of the men and women currently in the organization’s residential recovery and transitional programs began with hot meal, a safe night of shelter, or a shower and clean change of clothing.  

Rescue S.O.S. is led by a team of compassionate staff and volunteers with over 12 years experience serving and connecting homeless individuals with programs and services in the community. The Rescue S.O.S. team travels to six distinct areas of the Valley each week equipped with its mobile shower unit, hot nutritious food, and clothing and hygiene items for distribution. Each month, we serve an average of 1,177 men, 278 women, and 47 children and provide over 1,500 meals, 1,400 items of clothing, 300 showers, and 400 hygiene kits.
