The mission is not the Ritz Carlton. But they have beds available. You can get breakfast 7am, lunch 11:30am and dinner at 5pm. On Sundays lunch is at 1:30pm and dinner is served at 6pm. A great variety of foods served that meets average dietary needs. The case managers will guide you to community agencies that can help you overcome being homeless. They have a chemical dependency recovery program. You can expect some no nonsense staff, though they are caring. Plenty of people from the public come to help spread the word of Christ. Beyond meals and a bed, you get a daily shower and someplace to store some of your stuff. Money can be stored in a safe, so you can save to get your own place. There is a place for you to charge portable phones. Don't smart mouth staff, you will be invited to leave. No swearing allowed.

Was able to help with serving one meal and loved the experience. They are a great service to the Rockford community.

I am a woman who graduated from the program I stayed there for 14 months at no cost but got my life back. There are rules lots of them. They do keep your money and teach you to budget. We us addicts have money it can be a trigger so that is why they do that. This place isn't for everyone but it for sure is for the ones who really want to get clean and who want to put in the work to get clean and stay clean. As a recovering addict I went to all measures to get my drug's and when I decided I was done they opened their doors to me. I went in there in 2010 and four months later I relapsed and it took me a year to go back and beg them to help me. People are going to say their bad things about this place and that's because they didn't get their way this place has rules for a reason it is what keeps this place going. I recommend this place and it has been almost 8 years for me since they helped save my life.
Donations are always a blessing. Call for instructions before you go.
