Downtown Rescue Mission

"A Heart for the Homeless"

Downtown Rescue Mission’s (DRM) motto is “a heart for the homeless.” Their goal is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of homeless men, women and children. DRM desires to provide a warm meal and shelter to those in need, as well as to offer them hope and help for their problems. The staff at DRM coordinates and administers programs and activities that aim to break the cycle of homelessness. They assist residents with getting needed social services, while providing counseling and educational opportunities for them. But, the true “heart” of DRM is introducing all who come to Jesus Christ, and trusting that He will completely transform their lives. Opportunities for volunteers to serve abound at DRM, with time, talents and financial contributions.

“We reach out to the “whosoever wills.” We work with those that Jesus said: ‘When you do it to the least of these my brothers, you do it unto Me.’ The staff at DRM all feels that God has called us out to reach the needy and homeless of our area.” – Dr. Darwin Overholt
