Raleigh Rescue Mission

“Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people’” (Luke 5:10).

Just as Jesus and his disciples celebrated a miraculous catch of fish and an appointed purpose, we, too, celebrate the joy and abundance found in community, fellowship, and caring for one another.

Here, the men at Raleigh Rescue Mission, clients and staff, enjoy a warm, sunny morning at the lake!

Sometimes the most meaningful impact starts with simply showing up.

Through Jobs for Life, clients receive vocational training, biblical employment training, and practical tools. This supports clients in not only entering, but remaining in the workforce. Mentors play a vital role in that journey by offering encouragement and support along the way.

This opportunity requires just 2–3 hours per week for four weeks, but the impact can last much longer.

If you’re interested in helping someone prepare for employment and take meaningful steps toward stability, we’d love to hear from you.

Find great camaraderie and delight in volunteering—individually or as a team!

We have an on-going need for help in providing the meal bags we hand out three times a day—an increased need in the summertime. Why not ask a few friends to join you? Help bring nourishment to those in need and joy to all involved!

Interested? Learn more at raleighrescue.org. We are grateful for those who show up to help! Thank you to the team at for bringing supplies and their team spirit!

Providing three meals a day for individuals who come through our doors requires a steady supply of food.

Right now, we are especially in need of key items like bread, proteins, snack items, and fresh produce.

Your support helps ensure that every person who comes to Raleigh Rescue Mission receives consistent, nutritious meals while moving forward.

Spring Training at Raleigh Rescue Mission!

Staff development is a high priority. One of our core values is to develop each other to fully live out our God-given purpose. With intentional, on-going training, we build and support individual growth, foster teamwork and collaboration, and enhance the quality of care we give our clients. And, besides, it’s fun to learn and to grow together!

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11

Graduates of the Jobs for Life program begin a new chapter!

Having honed their job-readiness skills, composed a resumé, and practiced for the interview, these clients have begun to apply for jobs. Some secure employment even before their graduation dates! We celebrate their achievements and pray God grants protection and favor as they work to build a new life.

Join the celebration! Be a mentor! Find more information at raleighrescue.org.

When someone walks through our doors, the goal is not just short-term relief.

It’s a clear path forward.

The New Life Plan provides a step-by-step process that begins with meeting immediate needs and continues through skill development, employment, and ultimately independent living.

Each phase builds on the last, helping clients move toward long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

Thank you for helping make that possible.
