Our Mission
Boise Rescue Mission Ministries reaches out to the community by teaching the Word of God and providing food, shelter, clothing, and opportunities to recover from homelessness for men, women, and children in need.
Our History
Because of the kindness and generosity of the community for over 66 years, the Mission has been able to and continues to serve homeless individuals of the Treasure Valley. Since 1996, the Rescue Mission has graduated more than 405 men and women through its New Life Discipleship & Recovery Program. Our purpose is to see the lives of men, women, and children in our community truly transformed through the love of Jesus and the restoration of faith, hope, and family.
Our Team
Boise Rescue Mission Ministries would not be where it is today without the people who have helped make our day-to-day ministry possible. Each person who serves with us–whether on staff or as a board member–is committed to our organization’s mission and has dedicated their lives to addressing homelessness in Boise, Nampa, and across the Treasure Valley.

frequently asked questions
How do I volunteer? Do you accept all ages?
To volunteer at one of our facilities, simply fill out the appropriate volunteer form. A member of our volunteer staff will contact you to arrange details.
We can accommodate volunteers of all ages and abilities — simply notate any special needs on your application.
I need help. Do you have room at your shelters?
Space at our facilities fluctuates depending on the time of year, but we will never turn away a person in need for lack of space. If our beds are full, we have mats to accommodate extra guests — no prior arrangements are needed. Check-in is at 4:00 p.m. daily at all of our shelters.
If you are in need of homeless services beyond food and shelter, we also provide addiction recovery, veteran-specific programs, and more.
Do you require chapel attendance in order to receive assistance?
No. We offer chapel to those who are interested, but it is never required in exchange for a meal or place to sleep.
Can I host an event or food drive on your behalf?
Yes! Send us your contact info and our Events Coordinator will get in touch with you to discuss details. To contact us directly, email [email protected], or call 208-343-2389.
Where can I drop off my donations? What do you accept?
If you have any questions about in-kind donations, please call 208-343-2389.
