Life Is Better, Not Just At The Mission…But Beyond!
In 2019, 67 families transitioned through our shelter. The change made in their lives lasts well beyond their time with us. Victoria had been abandoned by her husband and was left with two small children, no money, no home. She is now doing great, has kept in touch, and was the speaker at our volunteer…
Creating New Hope At Renewed Hope
Homeless. Drug Dealer. Addict. Gang Leader. These are a few of the monikers that have been attached to our guests. Each man has come to us with a past. Each man has come to us at a critical turning point. Each man has come to us in need of a renewed hope. This is what…
The Mission’s annual Thanksgiving banquet is Nov. 23
Thanksgiving is a time of appreciation for what we have and those we love. We often take for granted the comforts and ease of driving ourselves to the grocery store, picking out a 15-pound turkey, and driving home to our well-equipped kitchen to cook a delicious meal to enjoy with our loved ones. For many…
Letter from the Director – October
For 21 years, the Rescue Mission Alliance San Fernando Valley has focused on sheltering and supporting single parents and intact families experiencing homelessness, along with providing outreach programs.

The Mission’s Annual Thanksgiving Banquet Is Nov. 17
Thanksgiving is a time of appreciation for the blessings God has given us for and those we love. The holidays are a time for celebration, but it can also be a time of sorrow for those who are hungry or hurting. Every year, the Rescue Mission Alliance San Fernando Valley hosts a Thanksgiving banquet to…
Learning, Growing, and Dancing
When people hear the term “shelter,” they often picture an institutional, unsafe, and unwelcoming environment. At the Mission, we strive to create an environment that breaks down these stigmas about shelters, and create a place for families to heal and thrive. This is a safe, loving, stable, and fun environment that is temporarily “home” to families experiencing homelessness. We…
Finding Laughter in the Midst of Struggle: Fall Festival at the Mission
While facing homelessness, it can be difficult to spend quality time with family. The strain of job and housing searches, and the disruption of normal routine can truly take its toll on families. Here at the Mission, we recognize this, and with the holidays upon us, we look for ways to allow families to find…
Fueling Kids’ Imagination—And Making An Impact
Our volunteers are passionate, loving, creative individuals who use their gifts, talents, and experiences to serve our guests in meaningful ways. Shelley is one such volunteer. Shelley uses her skills and passion for theater to bring imagination and fun to the kids in our home. “My favorite part about working with the kids is giving…
From the Director
One of the most fulfilling parts of working at the Mission is seeing former clients come back and volunteer. It’s amazing to see the transformation from the day they move in to when they are in stable housing and ready to give back. They each have something unique to offer the families in the shelter…
Rocky Peak Community Helps In Transforming The Whole Person
Here at the Mission, we value giving our guests opportunities to transform themselves holistically: body, mind, and soul. Through our amazing network of partners, we are able to offer a variety of programs, including therapy, bible studies, life skills classes, art classes, and much more. One such partner is the Church at Rocky Peak. For…

Our merger with Hope Again went smoothly, and we are making progress renovating the facilities and developing our men’s recovery program, which we hope to open later in the fall. We want to welcome all of our new supporters from the Hope Again community.…
