FAQ

New Life Recovery/Discipleship Program

A recovery/discipleship program is available for men and women who enroll through Boise Rescue Mission. At both the men's and women's facilities, the New Life Program helped participants to stay sober and discover a new life in Jesus Christ.

Shelter Given

In addition to meals, we provide over 6,500 safe beds each month to men, women and children. The number of guests continues to increase.

Along with food service staff and volunteers, the men and women of the New Life Program prepare and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

Meals Served

As of December 2006, we have been serving an average of 660 meals and providing an average of 242 overnight stays each day.

Computer Skills Education

Boise Rescue Mission has taken the lead in giving the Treasure Valley's homeless the opportunity to gain computer skills and experience, using our newly developed computer lab. The NOVA program, by Innovative Learning Systems, was developed specifically for Missions to include education towards a GED, literacy and employment/career training. This experience helps to gain not only valuable skills for employment, but also the excitement and pride of discovery.

Employment Re-entry Program

This fifteen-month program provides work search assistance, transitional housing, education and other job-related needs to qualified men and women who have graduated from the New Life Program and are willing and able to find permanent employment. Forty local businesses have partnered with the Boise Rescue Mission to provide good, career-type jobs to these program graduates.

Worship Services

Boise's churches and spiritual leaders are an invaluable part of the Boise Rescue Mission's success. Each week, many leaders from churches around Boise join us at the Front Street and River of Life Chapels to lead our nightly voluntary worship service. Those who stay at the Boise Rescue Mission can also find comfort and strength in devotional services each morning.
