Food. Shelter. Clean clothing and a warm bed for 7 days. No questions asked. Beyond easing acute physical distress, our emergency services are a pivotal starting point – giving homeless and hungry men, women, and children a chance to rest, reflect and see the possibility of a better life.
Our shelter locations offer more than 78,000 nights of safe shelter each year to those in need.
Offering food, rest, clothing, hygiene – along with kindness and understanding – our 140-bed Samaritan House is a refuge from daily despair for many homeless men, providing a way off the streets and help getting them on to the road to recovery.
Long Beach Rescue Mission offers shelter to men at our 150-bed Samaritan House, to women and children at our 50-bed Lydia House, and to men with disabilities at our 15-bed John and Helen Apostle House. Each house is a place of healing and hope where residents receive food, rest, clothing, hygiene, case management and transformational life-recovery programs.
