Job hunting can be a challenge even for the savvy seeker. Imagine trying to land a job when you’ve been experiencing homelessness!

That’s why our job training program helps Mission Academy students discover their interests, build their skills, and find meaningful, stable work.

Today, corporate partners from several businesses hosted a Career Day for the men in our residential recovery program. Speakers shared about company culture, current job opportunities, and provided details on what each company looks for in employees.

Much GRATITUDE to @band_of_hands, @fleetlogix, @lloydpestcontrol, Major SecurityServices, @mgproperties1 and @sheratonsd Hotels for inspiring confidence in our students taking the next steps in their careers and in their paths to self-sufficiency. Together, we are ending homelessness, one life at a time!

This week is National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week! Businesses, non-profits, and thousands of participants nationwide are coming together to volunteer, donate, and educate themselves on the realities of hunger and homelessness throughout the US.

Over 580,000 Americans are homeless on a typical night and 44 million Americans are at risk of suffering from hunger. In San Diego, more than 8,000 people are homeless and hungry on any given night. And 27% of those are women, many with children.

Through your partnership, men, women and children receive the compassion, tools and resources they need to heal and restore their lives at the Rescue Mission. These meaningful, life-changing moments start with YOU!

Give back and be a part of something bigger. We have opportunities for you to Volunteer, become a Partner, Pray, and more! Together, we can change the state of homelessness in our county.

Let’s celebrate our Mission Academy Graduates in their journey of recovery and healing. Inside this video you’ll hear testimonies of powerful life change from two of our newest Residential Program graduates, Rosanna and Gary, who experienced newfound hope and a new direction for their lives.

“I found that to be a Christian means to be Christ-like, to be the best person you can be. That is something I can embrace.” - Gary, Graduate Fall 2021

Our students are empowered to overcome homelessness because of the resources, care, and opportunities that your steadfast support provides. Together, we are rejoicing over the faithful, hard work from both our students and staff. Watch and celebrate along with our community!

Thanksgiving artwork by our very own preschool students at the SDRM Children’s Center. Many of the children at the Rescue Mission have experienced trauma, which is often followed by learning difficulties.

Did you know that 90% of brain growth happens before the age of five? Children experiencing homelessness face delayed brain development due to emotional stress, trauma, health problems, and more. At SDRM, we provide activities such as art to help them learn and heal.

You are helping to impact the next generation. We are thankful for your support in providing a safe, secure place for children to grow, learn and express their needs. Even the simplest activity can give hope to a child and change their life!

What are you thankful for this Holiday Season? For us at the Mission, we're immensely grateful for the prayers and steadfast support that donors like you provide in order to help our neighbors get out of homelessness and into new life!

"I’m very grateful for this opportunity to be here. And for the impact that it’s had on my child’s life. She is my world. She’s in preschool for the first time. She’s socializing. She’s getting loved and cared for and she’s comfortable. And now I’m comfortable so I can get a job and provide for her in the right way." -- McKennah, Mission Academy Student.

In this season of thanksgiving, we're grateful for the hope and transformation that your support creates. By giving generously and believing in our students, donors like you empower them to find a renewed sense of gratitude and purpose in their lives.

Thank you for your continued support in helping to end homelessness one life at a time. #SdRescue #Homelessness #Hope #Gratitude #ThankfulFor

Last week, 29 businesses competed at the Rescue Mission’s 4th annual Corporate Golf Challenge hosted at Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad. What an exciting day! A major thanks to our long-time partner and presenting sponsor, @bumblebeefoods! Their commitment to making a difference in our community is tremendous.

Congratulations to The Village Church, our 2021 Champions, who took home the travelling trophy and bragging rights! Each and every team competed wholeheartedly to raise awareness of the homeless problem in San Diego County. Since 1955, San Diego businesses have worked alongside the Rescue Mission to change the state of homelessness in our hometown.

Ending homelessness is a community effort. Thanks Bumble Bee and all of our generous corporate, team and hole sponsors for making the event a fun and impactful day to benefit our homeless!

Today, we honored 120 local service members of San Diego with a luncheon. We are so grateful to the San Diego Police Department and the San Diego Fire Department for their continuous support in serving our homeless neighbors.

Changing the state of homelessness in San Diego is a community effort. As we invest more in outreach and a larger community presence, a strong relationship between us and the two departments will positively impact the people we serve.

San Diego Police Department officers frequently bring unsheltered neighbors to the Mission for help. While the San Diego Fire Department often assists emergency shelter guests or program residents who are medically fragile. Together, we are changing the state of homelessness, one life at a time.

A huge THANK YOU to Manny’s Tacos, a mission favorite, for providing lunch for our local service members. #SDRescue #SDPD #SDFD
