As a nonprofit organization, the Durham Rescue Mission relies entirely on the generosity and volunteer efforts of individuals, churches, businesses, civic groups, foundations, and other organizations to sustain its homeless programs and services. They steadfastly refuse local, state, or federal government funding, ensuring their autonomy in fulfilling their mission.
With a commitment rooted in the power of Jesus Christ, the Durham Rescue Mission aims to address the holistic needs of individuals, spiritually, educationally, emotionally, physically, socially, and vocationally. Through their doctrinal beliefs anchored in the Bible, they strive to guide those in need towards redemption and restoration, offering hope, dignity, and a pathway to becoming fully functioning members of society.
