We can no longer allow single women like Barbara to sleep on our streets. In response, the Wenatchee Rescue Mission is opening a 20-bed emergency shelter dedicated to single women experiencing homelessness.

At Wenatchee Rescue Mission, we aim to revolutionize how those experiencing homelessness are encountered and serviced. We exist to provide focused loving assistance to the most vulnerable people in society. We know that showing the love of Christ to each person we encounter creates hope for a new path. We are committed to remove any barriers that keep people from moving forward. We have designed an individualized program that meets the unique challenges of each person.
We pray that each encounter both on campus and out in community will have a lasting impact and create a culture for Hope. With the help of our dedicated staff, supporting church body and volunteers, we will bring about change together. One day soon we will expand our campus, our programs and our reach. We trust God to provide all wisdom, all authority, all resources, all workers and all open hearts to complete the task ahead of us. We will keep shouting the good news about victory because of JESUS!

A hand up offers safety, stability, guidance and connection to support services. We are committed to assist people who are residents in the Wenatchee Valley community, who are ready to move forward and beyond homelessness. we know as people heal, they learn to trust, make better choices, expand their support network and have joy in their heart again. We respect and partner with agencies who come alongside, who help advocate, encourage and celebrate small victories as goals are met. As rules are practiced, truth, structure and consequence begin to mold and shape individuals who see that victory is possible. This is often a long game, but we are committed to stay on the journey with them. It is our privilege to witness men and women truly change their situation, transform their lives and achieve long-term success. We are confident that through the power of Christ and the support of the community we will make change one soul at a time.

Low Barrier Shelter
With a focus on “harm reduction,” low-barrier shelters encourage homeless individuals to seek refuge and resources with minimal requirements.
Our doors are open, 24 hours a day. We work closely with local authorities and partnering agencies to keep people out of jail and out of harm's way. We remove every barrier that may keep someone from choosing shelter: no ID required, pets are welcome, you can bring a partner/friend with you, we don’t do background checks, sobriety is not a requirement.”
Services include:
Meals, a bed, showers, laundry, access to hygiene and clothing, case management and connection to all partnering services.
Active Outreach

A hand up in action!
Our Outreach team meets daily with those in community who are unsheltered and in need. Over time they build relationships and trust with individuals by visiting and praying with them on a regular basis. Our outreach vehicle is equipped with bibles, water, emergency supplies and pet supplies to create a bridge with the people they meet. Staff is prepared to pick people up if they make a decision to leave the street or their camp at that moment. People do choose to come into shelter when they believe they are seen and cared for. Anyone is welcome to accompany our staff on Outreach. We have had great success when community members join us with an open mind and heart for service.
