For 58 years, Boise Rescue Mission Ministries has made every effort to be cost-efficient and wise with the income our generous community provides, but we are currently experiencing a large deficit. Every day, we have over 400 homeless men, women and children depending on us for safe shelter, meals and assistance. Additionally, we have 30 veterans staying in the Veterans Ministry Program, more than 40 men and women in our New Life Recovery Program and over 50 children in our Kids Program.

This coordinated effort is seeing real results in the lives of our guests and, last year, over 450 men and women moved from our shelters into independent living. But, we have a current financial need and we request our community’s prayerful support to assist us to continue serving homeless and needy men, women and children in our community.

"I want people to know that we have a large need, and I'm not crying wolf. We need some help right away" said Mission CEO, Bill Roscoe. "I'm confident that people will respond to this appeal, as they always have in the past" Roscoe added.
