The San Diego Rescue Mission is a non-profit homeless shelter and recovery center serving thousands of homeless, hungry men, women, and children in San Diego since 1955. San Diego Rescue Mission rescues homeless and other people living in desperate life situations, helping them rehabilitate their lives, and restore hope. Their programs provide basic needs as well as the recuperative and rehabilitative services that help men, women, and children get back on their feet and return to society as productive citizens.
