Our Passion is Changing Lives!

Since 1938, Charlotte Rescue Mission (CRM) has been serving the poor and homeless in our community. In our early days, we fed, sheltered and clothed homeless men. Recognizing that a large majority of homeless people struggle with addiction, CRM intensified its focus on homelessness by addressing this connection between homelessness and substance abuse. Today, the Mission provides residential, long term (100-130 day) primary care Christian recovery programs for men and women struggling with an addiction to drugs and alcohol.

They come to the Mission hungry, homeless and hurting. While some come with little or no luggage, they all come with baggage. This idea of “baggage” includes feeling as if one is “damaged goods”. Abuse issues are huge for the men and women we serve. As one former client said, “28 day programs didn’t have time to deal with my childhood sexual abuse.” She went on to say, “Dove’s Nest is completely different. I stayed at Dove’s Nest four and a half months. They took my life apart and put it back together”.

The model we us is to provide a professional Christian recovery programs and additional services to hurting men and women at no charge to them. As one former client said, “If Charlotte Rescue Mission had asked for $5 from me on day one, just $5, I didn’t have it.”

Through your generosity, the Mission is able to offer them hot nourishing meals, safe shelter and long term recovery programs to change their life.

Here are some interesting facts about the Charlotte Rescue Mission:

Serving the Charlotte and surrounding community since 1938
Over 450 men and women participated in our recovery programs.
Seventy four percent of our clients admitted were homeless.
45% of our men and 74% of our women complete the program vs. a national average (serving a similar population) of 18%. One year later, 75% of our program graduates are still sober vs. a national average of 25%.
No government or United Way funding

We invited you to continue viewing our web site, learn about our volunteer opportunities, and see how you can be a part of the miracle that God does every day in the hearts and lives of the men and women we serve.

FAQ

Charlotte Rescue Mission — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:20:51 +0000

Q: Why doesn’t Charlotte Rescue Mission accept government or United Way funding?

A: Since we are a Christian ministry, if we were to accept funding from either of those sources, we would have to alter our message and our approach of recovery. We believe that faith in Jesus Christ is the key to our successful recovery program.

Q: How do I enroll my loved one in your program?

A: Your loved one needs to call our admission program. You cannot call for them. See our section on admissions for more detail.

A: After one year, about 75% of our clients are still clean & sober. See our section on Post Completion Tracking for more details.

A: The bed capacity for Dove’s Nest simply limits the program. Our next step of expansion will be to add more beds for the women.
