The Rescue Mission Alliance's primary purpose is to establish and operate rescue missions to reach the less fortunate with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to assist in the feeding, clothing, and lodging of those who are destitute or homeless. With the support of our community, we offer: refuge - food, clothing, and shelter for those in need, recovery - biblically based programs to minister to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit, and restoration - equipping people to lead productive and independent lives. Our target population is poor and homeless men, women, and children of all ages, ethnicity, or religious beliefs, located in Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties. These activities are carried out through four unique rescue missions and one food bank. The organization operates six thrift stores dedicated to the rehabilitation of men and women in recovery.
