Current President’s Council Members
"We all have a choice: lament the sad state of affairs around us, or, do something about it. The Rescue Mission chooses to do something. It’s inspiring to see their focus on each individual, along with a regional perspective. We’re proud to be President’s Council partners and know that whatever we give always goes to good use. We can all do something by supporting the Rescue Mission with our time, resources, and prayers."
"We've supported the Rescue Mission for more than 30 years because they actually do the work everyone talks about. We all want answers to the homeless crisis. SDRM provides them."
"At WeRevive, we believe everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. It's not just about transforming houses, but about transforming lives. We are proud to support the Rescue Mission because they align with our core belief of leading with our heart, and continue to make a tangible impact in our community. Our contribution to their cause is an extension of our mission — to revive the world, one home, and one life at a time."
“The Rescue Mission is an incredible organization that engages churches like us in a way that provides real opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in greatest need right here in our community. The hearts of our volunteers that came to renovate two rooms at the Mission were captured by the amazing staff and the thankfulness of those we were able to bless.”
