Hope Of The Valley Rescue Mission

Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission, a 501(c)3 organization, was founded in 2009 with a mission to assist in the effort of meeting the needs of every hungry and homeless man, woman, and child in the San Fernando Valley. Through strategic services and partnerships, we empower our clients with the hope, faith, knowledge, resources, and skills to lead a life of wholeness and self-sufficiency. Hope of the Valley is the only full service rescue mission headquartered in the San Fernando Valley and is uniquely positioned to meet the immediate needs of the homeless and working poor populations of the San Fernando Valley. Initially begun as a hunger relief outreach program serving two hot meals a week, Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission is now a full service agency that • serves 1,500 meals each week to the San Fernando Valley’s increasing homeless and hungry population, • distributes more than 30,000 clothing items and 9,000 hygiene packets to homeless individuals annually, • provides shower rooms at our main campus so that homeless men and women can maintain their personal hygiene in addition to receiving a hot meal, • provides ongoing case management and life skill classes to the homeless, • established the House of Hope—a recovery home for men, • started the Hope of the Valley Thrift Store and employs 11 former homeless workers who are learning business skills, • launched Genesis House—a 30-bed emergency shelter for homeless families headed by single mothers, and • opened the Bridge, a transitional living program for men working their way out of homelessness. Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission believes that the first step to eliminating poverty is to meet populations that are most in need at their point of need. Join us in our effort to provide life essential services to those in need.
