Long Beach Rescue Mission

Since 1972, Long Beach Rescue Mission has welcomed men, women, and children with daily essentials to help them recover from homelessness, hunger, addiction, and poverty, offering the opportunity for long-term, sustained life change.

Long Beach Rescue Mission is a faith-based provider of emergency and long-term shelter, serving men at the 150-bed Samaritan House, women and children at the 50-bed Lydia House, and men with disabilities at the 15-bed John and Helen Apostle House. Daily services include approximately 650 hot meals, 160+ emergency shelter stays, a one-year New Life recovery program for substance abuse and life-plan rebuilding (about 70 participants), learning centers offering life skills and career training (50,000+ hours annually), chapel and spiritual support, and mobile outreach.
