Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley

Emergency program - at the Mission, our emergency program is the first stop for all clients seeking assistance. Each person has a unique story that has led them to our doors. Many have hit rock-bottom and have no place else to turn. Your support of the Mission provides a safe haven to individual men and women and families in need, including married couples, single mothers, and single fathers. Our guests receive nutritious meals and a clean bed, along with the opportunity to take a deep breath and assess their situation during the first seven days of their stay. Our staff works closely with each guest to create a personalized plan to transition out of homelessness as they engage in one of our other three programs: transitional, workforce assistance, or the working program.

Transitional program - our program is designed to help those who are unable to work or those who aim to transition out of the shelter as soon as possible. We offer short-term overnight emergency shelter and nutritious meals. As part of the program, guests can receive case management, biblical counseling, and learning center access. We collaborate with third-party agencies to ensure the best possible care for our guests. To ensure accountability, guests participate in frequent reviews, and those with an income take part in our savings program. We return 100% of savings to the client.

Workforce assistance - your help supplies everything our transitional guests receive as the client works to achieve his or her transition plan while they seek employment as they stay at the shelter.

Working program - your partnership provides everything our transitional guests receive as the client works to achieve his or her transition plan while they are currently employed and staying at the shelter.
