Wonderful experience working with the Miami Rescue Mission staff for an after hours donation. They were extremely helpful and accommodating, good people doing good work. Highly recommend.

Visited/Volunteered with my office partners for an amazing organization. They need the communities assistance in sorting donations, painting/touching up paint so the facilities continue looking good. You don't have to have big pockets to make a big impact!

To me it is the caring place it helped change my life drew me closer to the Lord it's a men's facility where you deal with your emotions your heart your heart intentions and it teaches you how to get back into society I love this place five out of five all day

I have donated there many times and there is always someone there to help and the parking lot is I front and f the door where they get the donations from your vehicle, All donations go to homeless shelters and domestic violence centers. If you want to help those who need it most, this is the best place for that. Call in advance because the address is a block Fortier than the drop off location. But the do amazing Job and they are super organized. May the Lors keep blessing that wonderful mission.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I'm disabled and no place to stay can you help me please?

Youngkings Valleylife | Sep 4, 2018
Rares Chitari | Sep 4, 2018

you would have to contact the homeless trust, they usualy come to eat at the miami rescue mission at 11 every day, they have the inscription on the car with the brand "homeless trust". wait for them and talk nicely, they are eagered to help. other than that if you have a serious problem talk to the police and they will try to help you as well. going in and asking ad the front desk is always a good option, they will guide you trough the procedure. wish you well.

is this place accepting males right now because i have a young man who needs a place to stay he works everyday he just needs housing can you please help him

Latoya Lawton | Mar 7, 2022
Manfred Maitre | Mar 7, 2022

If he's just looking for housing try calling the green shirts but coming in he won't be able to work it'll be a part of the regeneration program which is a 8 to 12 month program. You could try places like salvation army or Chapman partnership and they'll give you more information but for him to just come in and work that would be the work program and you would have to try the green shirts

Manfred Maitre | Apr 6, 2022

Yes we do take in people without a state ID without the Florida ID but our intake days are Monday mornings be here before 6:00 a.m.

Do you have space or a place for a couple and 3 children? Until we are able to get onto our feet an have a place of our own? If so what are the requirements that we need to have or meet to be inside this place of change to get to our brighter future

Sequoia Brown | Nov 7, 2021
Emerald Virden | Nov 7, 2021

No. That shelter is not for family's. It is a men's shelter only. Try the shelter Camillus House because they allow men and women there but they have men on one section and women on a separate section and you may be put on the women's section with your children. I know this because I was homeless two years ago and I stayed at Camillus House and it's a great homeless shelter and very clean and safe shelter they have gards on duty day and night. Plus the staff are very polite and friendly too there. They even have a huge Cafe and very delicious food as well. I loved it while I was there. It's beautiful shelter and huge. It's known as the biggest shelter in Dade County as well because it is a multi million shelter in Miami. Plus they are on YouTube too. Check out them on YouTube. You'll be impressed by the shelter video of Camillus House.

Is there SRO.

David Addonizio | May 6, 2022
Frannie Dee | May 6, 2022

No single room occupancy. Not even in Chapman nor Camillus shelters. ya gotta queue up Monday morning 7am. They're probably gonna want you to join a drug program or take psych meds to get funding. Was Friday your first meal under the canopy tent?

I have recently became homeless is there a place for me and what documents do I need

Baleria Dross | May 6, 2022
Conlyn Banks | May 6, 2022

Will they have Miami Rescue Mission for women was more of a program like 12 months if a document you just need to make sure you have that you got your shots all you've been tested

Miami rescue mission only on Mondays at 7 in the morning they receive people who want to enter the program they are given food 3 times a day, clothes and bed and if they finish the program they are helped to find low-income housing without having health insurance , they are also helped to get or renew their papers

Okay since the covid has change are the programs started got to wear a mask to get in and is the shelter c does the shelter have a smoking area

Freddie Nunez | Nov 7, 2021
Frannie Dee | Nov 7, 2021

NO 🚭 smoking. It's a smoke 🚬 free campus except out by the back gate. If you live inside, you already know this.

Does the shelter still offer discipleship program and how long is it, us there a smoking area I have ask questions before does the shelter have a way to help with medical and mental issues

Freddie Nunez | Nov 7, 2021
King B | Nov 7, 2021

Yes, yes a smoking area in the back. The program is typically a year long.

Do they help you find your own place and how long does that take

millionaire entrepreneur Nicolas | Sep 3, 2021
JoJonoMuskets | Sep 3, 2021

They essentially do, yes. If I remember what my professor told me, you go through a program that works the same way as college where you graduate as Alpha, where you are able to work in a job while still being monitored so that you don't fall back on your addiction or whatever caused you to become homeless. You also have a living space within Miami Rescue Mission until you earn enough to get your own place, if I'm sure.

About to be homeless,im from palm beach county, can you stay here, get help with houseing, jobs, etc also how long can a person stay, no drugs not drinking, just need to move forward with my life,

Greg Dorchek | Sep 3, 2021
Frannie Dee | Sep 3, 2021

Go there and network in the streets. They serve meals outdoors M-F 3-5pm . That's where you ask. I don't think they're taking in any new people. They let you in for showers 2-4pm, and there's the portapotty in the alley.

I'm homeless in Pa. I'm about to relocate to Florida. Is there a shelter that offers help/ shelter to a person with mental issues?

Freddie Nunez | Sep 3, 2021
gordon otway | Sep 3, 2021

The requirements for volunteers are they must have a face mask, no shorts, and something you feel comfortable in. As far as trying to answer your question about your Lam disability. I would recommend you call or email The Miami Mission to inform them that you are Lam disable, and would that stop you from volunteering. If the answer is no then you should find what volunteering jobs are available.

There are different programs at the mission. If you choose to do their drug program then you can check in on mondays. However if you are trying to do the work program then you have to either go through the city of miami homeless trust or the city of miami beach homeless outreach.

What kind of programs do they offer and how long are they

Freddie Nunez | Sep 4, 2018
Thierry Read | Sep 4, 2018

You need to contact the City of Miami Beach, Homeless Services

Does the shelter offer programs,live dicipleship or drug and alcohol progarm and what from of id do you need and how far is the shelter from the Greyhound bus station

Freddie Nunez | Sep 4, 2018
My Goodies Store | Sep 4, 2018

All three of the greyhound bus stations are far from the shelter so you would have to take a metrobus from the station and transfer from that bus onto a number 2 metrobus which will get you closest to the shelter. You most likely have to call and find out the forms of id you need

How do i get assistance

David Cerio | Sep 4, 2018
Mickey Itchon | Sep 4, 2018

David, if you can, call them set an appointment. Go to your appointment you'll be talking to a counselor. The counselor will explain to you the different programs that they have available. Also, you can go any day to get food. However, you need to call them and find out if it's just for food what time to show up. But, if you want real assistance to get a place to stay to get a program some people go to get their GED and trained to get a job, you need to set up an appointment with a counselor. But all in all, just call them. Good luck David.
