Rescue Mission
Rescue Mission is a homeless shelter, our mission is to give people a hand up, not just a hand-out. People are welcomed to stay with us for as long as they need, they’re given a bed, three meals a day, and are guided in looking for work and support. Along with our residential shelter, we have our emergency migrant shelter (here is where we have more children and family units), DHS has partnered with us and all of our migrants come directly after being legally processed. Their stay is much shorter than those in our residential shelter since most migrants have destinations other than El Paso. They serve children.
