SERVICES
Emergency Shelter

Operation Deep Freeze is activated when weather forecasts predict overnight temperatures of 40°F or lower with rain, or 35°F or lower without rain, or when wind chill factors pose a health hazard due to exposure. Intake begins at 5pm Free services offered include a delicious dinner, a hot shower, toiletries, clean clothes, a cozy bed, and a hearty breakfast.
Gospel Rescue Mission also offers relief from the extreme heat when temperatures rise above 100 degrees or when monsoons are imminent. During these times, we will make accommodations and services available during peak heat and weather conditions.

SHORT-TERM STAYS
Shelter
We offer a seven-day stay for individuals seeking a short-term solution to homelessness. This program provides nutritious meals, hygiene items, clean clothes, hot showers, and a secure bed. Additionally, it gives you the opportunity to learn about our organization and the services we offer.
While staying with us, take advantage of resources like DES, El Rio Medical and Dental, and the Homeless ID Project, among others. Many individuals who enter our shelter program learn more about the services we provide, choose to stay and transition into one of our long-term programs.
