Phoenix Rescue Mission

Our team had a great time hanging out with Bret Vesely and the 98KUPD Official crew to help kick off this year’s Operation Hydration water drive in support of our Code:Red heat relief campaign 🎉

Every case of water donated helps provide hydration, relief, and hope to neighbors facing extreme heat. Thank you to all of the partners, supporters, and community members helping make a difference and save lives across the Valley. 🙏

When Micah approached our Street Outreach Team, he wasn't just looking for resources. He was looking for a way forward.

After years of instability and substance use, he shared that one of the hardest parts was losing connection with the people he loved most. He wanted recovery, but more than that, he wanted the chance to rebuild his life and restore those relationships.

Our team spent time listening, encouraging him, and walking through possible next steps toward treatment and recovery. Before the conversation ended, Micah agreed to enter a
recovery program and take the next step toward healing.

His story is a reminder that transformation is possible, and that even small moments of connection can open the door to hope, healing, and a new beginning. 🙏

Looking for a meaningful way to give back? 🤝

Hope for Hunger Food Bank is always looking for volunteers to help serve neighbors across the Valley!

Whether you come on your own, with friends, or alongside your family, every hour makes a difference. In 2025 alone, more than 20,000 volunteer hours helped support the work happening across Phoenix Rescue Mission.

This Mother’s Day, we honor the women who continue showing up for their children through every challenge, setback, and new beginning. ❤️

Every day at the Mission, we see mothers working hard to rebuild stability, strengthen their families, and create a new path forward. Through recovery, support, and community, lives are being restored and families are being reunited.

The work happening today reaches far beyond one moment. It creates generational healing, helping mothers build safer, more stable futures for their children and the generations that follow.

Today, we celebrate the courage, resilience, and love of every mother walking that journey. 🙏

“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.”
– 2 Timothy 1:5

We recently witnessed a powerful step of faith through baptism at our Transforming Lives Center 🙏

Just as the season marks new life, each man is stepping forward, leaving the past behind and choosing a new path in Christ.

We are honored to walk alongside them as they continue their journey. Moments like these remind us that transformation is possible and that new life can begin at any time. ❤️
