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.

SHELTER PROGRAM
We offer a seven-day respite stay for individuals looking for a short-term solution to homelessness. This program will provide you with a warm, nutritious meals, a hot shower, and a secure bed, while also allowing you to learn about our organization and the services we provide. Many who enter our shelter program discover more about what we offer and decide to stay, eventually joining one of our three longer-term programs.
Shelter
At Gospel Rescue Mission, we recognize the challenges that individuals and families frequently encounter in their journeys. That’s why we offer you services centered on high-quality hospitality, providing safe, clean, and comfortable accommodations for up to 350 men, women, and children every night, throughout the entire year.
We believe everyone deserves an opportunity. Our doors are open to all. We are committed to treating everyone with Love, Grace, Dignity, and Respect.
Personal Hygiene
We understand that keeping up with personal hygiene is essential for your overall health and happiness. Unfortunately, many people living on the streets or in temporary shelters struggle to access clean water, showers, and laundry facilities. This can lead to serious health issues, feelings of isolation, and challenges in finding employment or stable housing. Regular showers and clean clothes aren’t just about being tidy; they play a key role in restoring a sense of normalcy, confidence, and self-esteem.
Showers
Our shower facilities are designed to offer a clean and private space where you can refresh both physically and mentally. We provide fresh towels, quality toiletries, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Access to our showers promotes good health and serves as an effective way to help you regain your independence and confidence, allowing you to start your day feeling revitalized.
Laundry Facilities
Our laundry facilities are equipped with modern machines to help you keep your clothes, blankets, and other essentials fresh and clean. We recognize that having clean clothing is crucial—not just for your health but also for building a positive self-image and improving job readiness. By offering this important service, we empower you to take care of your personal items, helping prevent infections, promoting good hygiene, and enabling you to confidently take steps toward rebuilding your life.
