In 1984, Charles Hutchins (Hutch) came to Wenatchee to visit relatives. He befriended a homeless person and found no homeless shelters in the area. So, Hutch found an old abandoned hotel in south Wenatchee, signed a 25 - year lease on it, and moved into the back room with plans to renovate it into a homeless shelter. This was in November

Wenatchee Rescue Mission provides assistance and support that empowers individuals to become self-sufficient, rather than simply giving them resources or a meal without helping them develop the skills and means to sustain themselves in the future.
We do this by designing a program that meets the need of the individual rather than a blanket program.
As you may have heard, the Wenatchee Rescue Mission received funds to operate safe sleep for motor homes.
The funding only pays for the safe parks, NOT THE MISSION or its programs. So, what is Safe Park? Safe Park allows Wenatchee and East Wenatchee residents experiencing homelessness who live in trailers, motorhomes, and cars to receive the assistance they need to be successful. Currently, 2 Safe Park lots will hold approximately 40 vehicles and 66 people.
