Featured Project

Social Enterprise
Gospel Rescue Mission’s Social Enterprises provide practical experience and training for individuals experiencing homelessness to manage a business. The programs aim to empower individuals with necessary skills and resources for success in the business realm while promoting foundational values of love, hope, dignity, and respect. Participants receive classroom-style learning, access to training materials, and handson experience operating real business brands.
The first initiative is Opportunity Coffee and Cafe, starting with a coffee trailer and expanding into a full-service coffee shop and cafe. Future plans include a retail store, event planning services, and food trucks.
