For more than 130 years, the Springfield Rescue Mission (SRM) has shared hope and light through the love of Christ, providing food, shelter, clothing, medical attention, Christian counseling, literacy training and advocacy to the hungry, homeless, addicted and less fortunate.
The services we provide are free of charge and funded without direct government assistance. These programs help individuals take meaningful steps toward becoming responsible and productive members of the community by applying the Word of God to every area of their lives.
“I realize now that this is definitely where God wanted me!”
“Landing here at the Rescue Mission is what brought me back to the Lord.”
“I found a great support system, good friends and, yes, a great ‘family!’ If God hadn’t brought me to the Rescue Mission, I’d probably be dead.”
“The people here are wonderful! I’m really in your debt; you got me back on my feet and really restored the things I’d lost: not just ‘family,’ but my faith.”
“If I hadn’t been here, I know I probably would have been dead by now. I owe God everything, but the people here introduced me to the Lord.”
