The Bay Area Rescue Mission helps meet the basic needs of hurting and homeless women, children, and men in the community with food and a clean, safe place to sleep.
This protection from the elements and from the hazards of street life is essential to our guests’ health and state of mind, especially for women with small children. It also gives them the opportunity to begin addressing their problems.
In 2025, the Rescue Mission provided more than 2.9 Million meals.
