The core of the Boston Rescue Missions programs and service to the Greater Boston community is rooted in the principles of Christianity. Our mission statement is a reflection of our practices "A healing community where lives are transformed through Christs love, grace and compassion". 

The Boston Rescue Mission is a not related to a specific denomination and focuses on the basic Christian principle of serving those in need.  This basic principle is shared by many churches in the Boston area reflected by the fact that over one hundred churches supported the Mission is some manner in the past year.

There are numerous opportunities for churches to partner with the Boston Rescue Mission.  Many churches support the Mission with periodic financial contributions; organizing food drives, serving in the kitchen, food pantry, and building improvement projects.  Other church groups come to the Mission and host Bible studies, prayer meetings and participate in the Friday evening church service.

The two opportunities that we ask church groups to consider is joining us for Saturday morning outreach on the Boston Common and hosting the Sunday evening meal.

Saturday Morning Outreach:

On Saturday mornings a group typically consisting of staff, volunteers, local church groups and some clients visits local parks and other designated sites. The team brings food, coffee, clothing and fellowship to the homeless community of Boston. All are invited back to the Mission for a hot meal where referrals to detox facilities, shelters, counseling programs and other services are offered.

Sunday Afternoon Meal:
On Sunday afternoons, the Boston Rescue Mission invites church groups to come to the Mission to prepare and serve a meal. The meal is open to resident clients and shelter guests.

For more information on the Saturday Outreach and Sunday Meal, please contact Jason Bonetti at 617-338-9000, ext. 1230 or via email at Jbonetti@bostonrescuemission.com.  We are grateful and reliant on the support of area Churches and it is safe to say we could not sustain our programs and services without their support.  Thank you.
