Giving Hope to the Homeless Since 1975
The Chattanooga Rescue Mission is a non-profit 501(c)3 faith-based organization that believes that God’s Word has all the answers to man’s sin problem. It is our goal to share God’s saving grace with all of our guests. One of the first steps in this process is providing food, shelter and clothing to those in need. As we meet these basic needs, we pray that God will open their hearts to any spiritual needs that they may have. Ninety-six percent of our funding comes from individuals within and around our community who believe in the work of the mission. An additional 4% comes from supporting churches and local businesses.
Hours of Operation
The Mission is open for clothes donations and to the general public on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 am to 4 pm. Saturday and Sunday we are closed until shelter time.
The shelter entrance walk gates are open from 5 PM to 6:30 PM daily during shelter time.
