About The Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley Since 1893, because of God’s grace, the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley has partnered with our generous community to care for neighbors who are hungry and/or experiencing homelessness. The Mission proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ while promoting accountability and providing essential services. Because of the Lord’s provision poured out through our caring donors, we provide:

• Free Meals: Not just a soup kitchen—full and nutritious meals are served to overnight guests and offered to the public, 365 days a year.
• Pre-Employment Assistance and Biblical Guidance: Guests receive support to gain stable employment and grow out of homelessness. They may also attend Bible studies, daily chapel services, and receive Christian discipleship during their stay.
