Mission Statement
Our mission is to lead our community by serving people experiencing or at risk of homelessness with help, hope and healing, in the spirit of excellence, under the call of Christ.
About This Cause
Although City Rescue is primarily recognized as a place of temporary refuge, we provide so much more! In the past 60 years, we have developed and implemented programs to accept individuals experiencing homelessness as our “clients” and help them on a path to recovery and independence, rather than just providing temporary shelter. Our mission is to lead our community by serving the homeless and near homeless with help, hope and healing in the spirit of excellence, under the call of Christ. In 1960, a group of Christian businessmen recognized the growing need for shelter to accommodate the individuals living on the streets of downtown Oklahoma City and opened City Rescue Mission, a basic soup kitchen with 20 beds. In 1989, our services, the number of shelter beds and the ability to serve women and women with families grew. In 1999 City Rescue Mission launched a capital campaign to relocate to a larger facility, which increased our capacity to 420 beds. This renovation now allows us to serve over 3,000 unique individuals per year. In April 2015, City Rescue Mission opened our new Men’s Center, a separate facility next door to the women and families’ facility, which added the capacity to shelter 220 men each night. City Rescue Mission currently provides several programs under our umbrella of Bridge to Life, providing tools and essential support in helping clients carefully transition to stable and safe housing, employment and healthy lifestyles.
