“I am so thankful the Kitsap Rescue Mission is located in Kitsap County. My children and I found shelter with them. Otherwise, we would have been sleeping in our car.”
Now, more than ever before, we are seeing families in need of continuous stay emergency shelter. And thanks to someone just like you, instead of offering 26 beds, we are now able to bring in 75 people like Dorothy and her family who might otherwise have had to sleep in their car.
On December 21st, 2024, Dorothy and her six children checked into the Kitsap Rescue Mission. She was already connected with many resources that Kitsap County offered, however, she hadn't been able to have a safe and stable place to care for her children while she obtained housing and income. During her stay with us, she never gave up, and she was able to obtain the necessary support to move forward.
In August of 2024, with the help of KRM's Case Management and Housing Navigation staff, she found an appropriate and safe home for her family. When you donate to the Kitsap Rescue Mission, you help make success stories like Dorothy's possible!
Continuous stay emergency shelter is successful! You are needed to help it continue.
We are so thankful to be in the new location in Port Orchard on Mile Hill, called the Pacific Building. In partnership with Kitsap County, and community service providers, the Kitsap Rescue Mission is the first step toward housing stability and healing. On site services include regular nutritious meals, mental health and substance abuse services, case management, and assistance securing permanent housing. We also help our guests with medical and dental needs through mobile services that come to the shelter. Your gift will help change lives!
YOU make all of this possible. Your generosity helps lift hearts and transforms the lives of our most vulnerable unhoused community members. We hope that when you make a gift through KRM, you will feel the joy of loving your neighbor.
