The Tacoma Rescue Mission

Reviews

Gary Vaughan Jr

A men's and women's shelter on S. Tacoma Way. They have a recovery program, showers, a clothing bank on wed at 1pm, they serve breakfast and dinner too. There's a Bible Study w/ Tony on Monday at dinnertime. Churches often come by on the weekend to share the gospel and provide charity. They have a donation warehouse, a cold shelter during the winter, and plenty of volunteering opportunities too. Living Grace Church is right down the street too, and they serve hot food with living water on Thursdays. *Note, you will be around drug users, ex-convicts, crazy people, and angry depressed people...and normal people who God sent there for his own purposes. However, do not lean to your own understanding. Trust in God. If you keep your eyes to The Lord and acknowledge him, he will direct your path(s). Proverbs 3:5-7

Just did a walk-through here to see the facility. Headed to tell it is amazing to see what all is accomplished. They have programs for people looking to get into a new way of life. Breakfast luncheon dinner are served here and I cannot believe how much compassion the volunteers and staff here show every day. Truly a remarkable place

Volunteered in kitchen last week. Enjoyed the time with a few other volunteers. People receiving food seemed grateful. There was supposed to be about a dozen more volunteers but they did not show up.

Don't listen to the bad reviews. This place is what you make it. Absolutely great counselors. Alex saved my life and in two months I was on my way out with a Life better than I could have imagined. Stay away from the drugs and this place is killer. It's clean and the food is...ok lol Whatever this place is rad and Way better than outside.

There is something wrong with these people. Staff are discriminatory, the food is unhealthy. You will be living with illegal immigrants, felons, sexual predators, predators and the mentally ill. Most people there are there for the rest of their lives. Staff is only there as a supervisory channel and nothing you report or say makes it to anyone with any real authority. Any medical emergency is met with anger and frustration from the emt and fire department, as they are tired of the daily ritual of driving up there. Abandon all hope, truly a place for the sickest or our society. It's Tacoma so no one really cares.

Operating for >100 years. This Icon in old Tacoma offers a clean, warm bed for the night, two hot meals(breakfast & dinner), hot showers, sheltered area w picnic tables, chairs, device charging outlets, referrals to local medical, mental health; long-term, recovery, transitional housing; treats men & women as adults, does not push the Christian Gospel or other Religions. It does not require abstinence from drugs or alcohol, thought it willnot tolerate them on the facility grounds. Making use of social workers, counselors, housing advocates, AA, etc., is strongly encouraged and they are available at scheduled times t/o the week. Residents are strongly advised to make any lifestyle and/or housing changes that they can, as this "Mission" is not intended to be long-term housing. A wide variety of local, City, State & Federal resources & funding are available. Physical and/or verbal violence, stealing & obscene behaviors are not tolerated, and 911 will be called to remove offenders immediately. The Mission is "officially" closed from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm, but a large white ~40' x 80' tent in the front plaza area w picnic tables & chairs, is open to anyone seeking relief from rain or sun, during those hours. Finally, Real Miracles happen here at times, if you pay attention, and you or someone you love needs one. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but they do and they will of you're ready.
