There are 40 motorhomes out on the streets of Wenatchee. Every person we meet has a different story; they all need a place to stop and work on their challenges. We are happy that the City of Wenatchee and East Wenatchee understood our concern. In late September 2022, the Wenatchee Rescue Mission was granted funds to park these vulnerable individuals safely. As of now, we have 16 vehicles parked and safe. We hope to find another site to help us grow. Because of the funding, we also hired seven people right out of the mission. We are genuinely giving Help Hope and now Opportunity!
Although the exact definition of “low barrier” varies greatly depending on whom you ask, it essentially means that the requirements for entry are limited or minimal.

Although the exact definition of “low barrier” varies greatly depending on whom you ask, it essentially means that the requirements for entry are limited or minimal. With a focus on “harm reduction,” low-barrier shelters encourage homeless individuals to seek resources by eliminating those obstacles.
The overall goal is to get as many people off the streets as possible. We open our doors and hold our arms out, and everyone is welcome to come in with a genuine love that only God can bring. We’ve tried to remove every reason that might keep someone from coming to the shelter:
But Low Barrier Doesn’t Mean Low Standards.
Although Wenatchee Rescue Mission has eliminated barriers to make the shelter more accessible to those in need, shelter policy prohibits drug possession, alcohol, and weapons in its facilities. Guests are also expected to obey the law and behave respectfully, non-threateningly, and not overly disruptively.
Our goal is to make this a safe place that promotes their growth.

We believe our actions speak louder than our words. We believe in reaching people where they are at. Our Outreach Team heads to the streets of Wenatchee and East Wenatchee daily to help those in need. We want people to see and experience the love of Christ.
Our team is an active outreach team, so if someone wants shelter now, the team will put them in our vehicle to take them to the top. We believe that sitting behind a desk waiting for people to come does not help those who are shelter-resistant or suffering from mental illness. From our executive director to our office staff, all our team members go out to perform street outreach.
Wenatchee Rescue Mission has partnered with the cities of Wenatchee and East Wenatchee to provide 43 tiny shelters. These shelters have two beds, and a small desk area outfitted with heating and air. We are excited about the future of these tiny shelters. Stay tuned for more to come!
