What it's all about:
The Charlotte Rescue Mission strives to help people in the community that struggle with homelessness and addiction by sharing the gospel of Christ, so that they may be equipped to thrive in the community. Founded in 1938, the Charlotte Rescue Mission has been located in several locations with several different names, though their mission has remained the same: to work towards a world free of addiction.
Services offered:
Services are offered through two programs: one for men (Rebound) and one for women (Doves Nest). In 2019 the mission opened a Community Matters Cafe as well, a full service restaurant and coffee shop adjacent to the Rebound campus. Rebound began with a 90-day residential program to empower individuals to move beyond the cycles of homelessness and addiction to become productive citizens in the community. In 1992 these services were extended to women by launching Doves Nest. In 2008 the Doves Nest program grew from a 12 bed facility to 120 beds, providing safety and care to children as well as their mothers.

Here is one heartwarming testimony of many:
"I got to Doves Nest in December 2015 and haven't had a drink or drug since! I can't even describe how grateful I am to that facility and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous for saving my life!" - Caeli T.
