The San Diego Rescue Mission saves lives.

For more than 50 years it has been more than our purpose – it has been our privilege — to help San Diego’s homeless and poor populations create better lives for themselves and, in turn, build a better community for us all

Our comprehensive programs  meet basic needs, then go further. They help our clients address the challenges behind their homelessness for positive, lasting change.

They provide an opportunity for those in need to take control of their lives, find a new level of stability, and return to their communities as fulfilled, contributing members of society.

What We Accomplished in 2011

Last year, thanks to support from hundreds of individuals, families, churches, corporations and foundations, we proudly served thousands of San Diegans, helping them create a whole new life for themselves and for their families.
