BOISE RESCUE MISSION MINISTRIES
ABOUT US
Since 1958, Boise Rescue Mission Ministries has been restoring faith, hope and family across the Treasure Valley. Today, we serve the homeless and addicted men and women of Boise, Nampa and surrounding areas from six unique locations in Ada and Canyon counties.
At Boise Rescue Mission Ministries, we see homelessness in its entirety. For us, taking care of homeless men, women and children isn’t simply about addressing physical needs — food, shelter, clothing — it’s just as much about addressing mental, emotional and spiritual needs.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Boise Rescue Mission Ministries reaches out to the community by teaching the Word of God and providing food, shelter, clothing and opportunities to recover from homelessness for men, women and children in need.

Through discipleship, accountability, and a Christ-centered, Bible-based curriculum, we’ve helped more than 325 men and women overcome their addictions.
VETERANS MINISTRY PROGRAM
In partnership with the Boise Veteran’s Affairs (VA), Boise Rescue Mission Ministries opened the Veterans Ministry Program (VMP) in 2010 to support the Treasure Valley’s homeless veteran population. Through individualized care and counseling, we’ve helped hundreds of veterans across Southwestern Idaho get back on their feet.
