YOUR HELP PROVIDES
Much more than just “three hots and a cot” your Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley is a safety net for lost and hurting neighbors in need.
We offer these tracts for clients:
- transitional (emergency overnights)
- workforce assistance (longer stays for those seeking work or already working)
- discipleship academy (up to 6 months participation in a life-transforming program)
TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM
Basic services provided include food, shelter, clothing, overnight provisions and limited casework.
Food
Three full meals are served daily to the public at our Emergency Shelter located at 1300 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Youngstown.
- Breakfast: 6:00 a.m.-6:30 a.m.
- Lunch 1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
- Dinner: 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Shelter
The Mission is here for those who are in need of a warm bed for the night. During our severe Ohio winters, The Mission has literally been a lifeline for those with nowhere to seek shelter. We provide three full meals to everyone staying at the shelter.
Individuals and families who stay at The Mission, whether just for a night or for longer periods, find that life there is orderly and filled with purpose. The Mission has firmly established rules and regulations concerning on-site provisions for our clients.
The Mission is a drug-, alcohol- and tobacco-free environment. Residents and Staff are subject to random testing for all three. Further, everyone staying at The Mission has a daily work assignment, with designated areas of responsibility and accountability throughout the facility.
The Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley provides non-denominational chapel services and Bible studies. Residents are encouraged to learn more about Jesus Christ and His teachings on love, compassion, and mercy.
If you are in need of emergency shelter or know of someone who is, please call 330-744-5485 and ask for a Client Advisor.
