Start Giving Monthly

Just $30 a month helps solve a community crisis

Did you know that 77% of our neighbors experiencing homelessness are from San Diego?

Every night in our community, there’s a mom desperate to find a safe place for her child to sleep… A hurting man praying for a way out of addiction… A neighbor who’s hungry and longs for a good meal…

As a Monthly Giving Partner, you can help local men, women and families find shelter, care and the support they need to overcome homelessness permanently.

Your $30 a month will provide:

Nourishing meals

Safe shelter & housing assistance

Parenting classes & family therapy

Life-skills classes & job training

When you sign up to give monthly, you become part of our Home Team!

Like you, this special group has a vision for San Diego County where everyone is safe, off the streets and getting help that works.

Let’s Get Social.

“I didn't really have a chance to be a father and now I do because he's here with me. I enjoy every day.

Since Lance was a little boy, he remembered growing up around alcoholics and drug addicts. Tragically, by the time he was 15 years old he had already experimented with hard drugs. By age 18, he had recurring arrests.

At the end of his rope, he grew tired of his way of life. He did not see a way out until his girlfriend introduced him to the San Diego Rescue Mission.

Being at the Mission improved Lance's life and led to him gaining custody of his child. Having his son with him every day has significantly strengthened their relationship. Lance walks his son to school and picks him up daily, cherishing the precious time spent together. He acknowledges the positive impact of having his son in his life. Lance is grateful that his son has the chance to make friends with kids close to his age.

Because of YOU, individuals like Lance and his son can find refuge and create cherished memories this Christmas.

🙏 🎄 Give the gift of meals and shelter to people who are experiencing homelessness this Christmas. Donations to the San Diego Rescue Mission given by December 31 will be matched. Check the links in our bio.

The Adams family just let us know they are at it again this year!

Meet the incredible Adams family, who are illuminating hope with the twinkle of lights on Quarter Horse Circle!

Jessamyn and Steven have been married for 23 years with three kids, and they're devoted to their faith and community at Calvary Chapel Oceanside. Discovering the San Diego Rescue Mission through their church, they decided to support the Rescue Mission in a unique and oh-so-creative way by creating a synchronized holiday 🌟 LIGHT SHOW 🌟 in December.

This year is their third annual fundraiser.

“We look forward to building upon our show year after year and finding ways to continue to socialize and grow funds and support for the San Diego Rescue Mission."

A special thank you to our community for creatively fundraising. You are helping men, women and children rebuild their lives.

“I was tired of being tired – of waiting for someone to help me. Finally, I helped myself.”

Ella grew up feeling neglected due to substance abuse in the home. Her pent-up pain and confusion led to her own cycle of self-destruction, but her story doesn't end here—visit our blog link in our bio to read more.

👉 AND if you give by the end of the day, you can double your impact and support people like Ella on their journey to healing and hope. Your generosity makes all the difference. #givingtuesday

Thank you for loving your neighbors and believing in the power of a fresh start.

🍁 Nicole: A Mission Academy Alumni Story🍂

“Being here has made me feel like I have hope for the future.” – Nicole Mission Academy Student

Nicole once had stability with an apartment, car, and job. Then tragedy struck when her apartment burned down. She lost her home and her car, leaving her homeless and overwhelmed.

After spending a few nights in a tent on the street, she came to the Rescue Mission desperate to keep her girls safe.

🍂 🍁 Thanking God for YOU today and the abundant blessings that you pour out to our students!
