Give a meal.
Change a life.
Their Last Hope.
Right now, we have neighbors who are hungry, homeless, addicted, and trapped in despair.
For many people, the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission is their last stop. Their last hope. Their last chance.
With the support of people like you, each year we can:
A Meal is MORE than Food
At Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, meals are more than just food on a plate. Watch Rolf, the Mission’s president, talk about what meals at the Mission really are, and what they mean.
Only One Rescue Mission
“The Santa Barbara Rescue Mission gave me sanctuary. Shelter, a bed and space of my own. Three meals a day. . . It gave me a place to heal my still poisoned body. And a place to fall in love with reading. The structure provided at exactly what I needed to o rebuild my broken life. . . Gaining my health, being able to self-direct my life and strive for my full potential is the gift of recovery.”
– Robert, Mission Graduate and Case Manager
“I want to thank all the volunteers and donors because without you none of this would be possible. Thank you all and God bless.” – Jane
It Wasn’t Just a Meal. It Was a Lifeline.
When Jane first came to the Mission, it was a miracle she was still alive.
She’d been living on the streets, not getting enough to eat, and battling decades of addiction and abuse – she was about ready to give up.
Instead, she came to the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission. Here, because of the generosity of someone like you, she was given a hot meal and a safe bed to sleep in.
“At the Mission, they encouraged me to get help because I mattered in life,” Jane says. “They made me believe that I was worth more.”
With newfound hope, Jane decided to join our 12-month Residential Treatment Program. She graduated in 2022, and her life has been completely transformed ever since.
Jane is off the streets – she has her own apartment. She’s reconnected with her family—she has good relationships with all her kids. She has a job—she’s working as the PR Manager for her daughter’s motocross career.
“I am very blessed to have been given a chance to redirect my life and stay positive and be a positive influence for those around me,” Jane says.
The only reason transformations like Jane’s are possible is because of the generosity of friends like you. Each $2.65 you give now will provide a life-changing meal for someone else!
