Big things are happening with our current Mission Academy students!

After semester one they start their Work Life course. In this class, we train, develop, and equip each student to be ready to engage the workforce with mock interviews, informational interviews, and work-life conflict and resolution scenarios. They learn about soft skills, job retention, and career readiness.

Your generosity gives these students the opportunity and resources to achieve life-changing accomplishments. Thank you. Please keep these students in your prayers.

Last week we invited San Diego County Sheriff’s Department @sdsheriff Undersheriff Kelly Martinez and the Homeless Assistance Resource Team (HART) to learn more about the San Diego Rescue Mission’s emergency shelter for women and children and our 12-month residential recovery program for men, women and single parent families experiencing homelessness.

Through partnering together, we hope to help more people get off the streets permanently and on a positive path to rebuilding their lives, regaining self-sufficiency, and being housed once again.

If you or someone you know is experiencing homelessness, access assistance with our Get Help Now online tool located in our bio.

Essential Items Needed

Would you like to donate a bed-in-a-bag for one of our new students?

We are critically low on our bed-in-a-bag sets and other essential items. If you would like to support our neighbors as they start their rehabilitation, shop our Amazon wish list here: https://amzn.to/3ygaym4

Every week we have been admitting ten men and women into our year-long program. The Rescue Mission emergency shelter also takes in new women and children daily. Life is hard on the streets. They need essential items to help them recover.

Thank you! Your grace and compassion help them through their journey to end homelessness.

As we continue through our hot San Diego summer, let’s not forget about our unsheltered youth. According to the 2022 Point In Time Count, there are 314 youth ages18-24 that do not have homes in San Diego. Here are a few ways you can love and pray for them:

Pray for spiritual breakthrough. This can open the door for many positive, lasting changes in life.

Education is a powerful tool in overcoming the cycle of homelessness. Pray for young people to get connected with the resources they need to pursue their education and navigate through hardships on the street.

Pray for safety and God’s protection over our younger vulnerable population. They are at a higher risk of being lured into harmful and illegal activities like drug and sex trafficking.

Thank you for your prayers. The love and support that you share changes the lives of those experiencing homelessness.

August is National Make-a-Will Month!
What’s stopping you from creating your Will?

In this month’s blog we’re addressing four of the most common myths about writing a Will. Do you need to write a Will if you’ve already expressed your wishes to your loved ones? Is the process always complicated, or can you do it yourself? Does everyone need a Will? Or only people with a lot of money? Are you too young to make a Will?

Find out here: sdrescue.org/make-a-will/

Yesterday, the San Diego Rescue Mission and the @luckyduckfoundation gathered mayors from twelve cities in our County to discuss a regional approach to homelessness.

This Mayoral Symposium was the first step toward exploring ways the public and private sectors can collectively address the homelessness crisis countywide.

During the meeting, Mayors and Deputy Mayors shared challenges and successes, while learning about the programs and resources offered by the Rescue Mission and the Lucky Duck Foundation to help our unhoused neighbors.

Together, we can get more people off the streets and help them rebuild their lives.

Will you pray for wisdom and support for these leaders and for those still living on the streets?

What would our community be like without volunteers?

Without our precious volunteer team members, we would not be able to reach the people we do. San Diego Rescue Mission created the Partnership For Hunger Relief program to combat food insecurity in our city. With our volunteers, we load between 18-20 vehicles every day. Our monthly food distribution is between 100,000 to 150,000 lbs. a month. We have about 25 partners that come and pickup food to distribute. With our help they are able to feed about 14,000 families and individuals per month.

Jose, one of our volunteers shares his experience: “Seeing the need of the people and families, for food, is what motivates me to continue coming to volunteer.” Jose crosses the border 3 times a week to volunteer. He feels this is his calling. We are thankful for Jose and his commitment to the ministry of the Rescue Mission.

There is still a great need! The inflated food prices and cost of living in San Diego has dramatically increased. Please pray that we can continue helping hungry families in need. If you would like more information on Partners For Hunger Relief, visit our website here: sdrescue.org/what-we-do/hunger-relief/

“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev. 19:18)
How can we uplift our neighbors without homes in a practical way this summer?

Be Creative!
Give out handmade cards of encouragement that include a list of local resources in the community. These resources can include: where to shower or find a community meal, how to get medical care and food stamps or where to find support groups etc.

Help navigating community resources can be a wonderful source of support to our homeless neighbors. Thank you for loving our neighbors this summer with creativity, generosity, and compassion. Your support changes lives!

13-year-old Leo Fink came to visit yesterday and made the news!

Leo has been volunteering at the Rescue Mission with his family for six months and after receiving money from his recent Bar Mitzvah, he decided to donate $1,800 to the Rescue Mission to help his neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Thank you, Leo, your generosity and service are giving people hope in San Diego. You are giving our neighbors without homes a chance at a new life!
