my name is clayton coats and i am the

chief ministry officer here at the

rescue mission alliance

[Music]

our goal and our purpose is to provide

refuge recovery and restoration and so

we do that primarily through our

emergency services

some of our locations have emergency

shelter to where a homeless can come

and stay overnight or stay for longer

periods of time and then we have our

life recovery program that's the point

to where somebody recognizes their need

for healing and to overcome

a hurt habit a hang-up of any kind and

then

we want to provide that restoration

we want people to be involved in a local

church environment we want to restore

relationships that are broken with

families

and and we want to do that by

providing opportunities of job growth of

employment readiness we want to be able

to provide opportunities when they

graduate to have a full-time job to earn

a wage to stay connected

to the missions to stay connected to

their support system but to also

become immersed

and fully assimilated back into the

community in which they came or a new

life a transformed life

wherever god moves them and plants them

and so we're able to make a huge impact

it's not just about one singular

location

but it's about what we can all do

together

working together at rma and so

regardless of what position in which

someone's hired

if they're hired at a thrift store if

they're hired at a mission

it's not just about them

serving in a role

it's about them serving in a role that

actually impacts the greater good

of providing refuge

recovery and restoration for men women

and children

in all of our communities

my name is joanne gillette and i'm the

director of communications

[Music]

i love like our tagline which is

changing lives for good i just think

that that really like sums up what we're

trying to do like it's not just shelter

it's not just food it's not just like

the warm bed getting off the streets yes

like all that's important but

like the life transformation and

changing the lives and like enhancing

their lives and bringing faith wherever

we can i think that that really like

sums up what everyone's trying to do

whether we're on the front lines in the

ministries or we're in more like an

office setting that's just something

that we're always reminding each other

on our teams we're still part of this

mission like we are still in everything

that we do whether it's paperwork or

anything like we're still like our goal

is still to help in that life change

hi my name is dave chittenden chief

executive at rescue mission alliance

i've been at rescue mission alliance for

almost 20 years i've seen us grow from a

handful of locations to providing

services in four southern california

counties

but what i'm most excited about is the

future

this organization has transitioned now

into an organization that wants to have

an even greater impact

we've created a dynamic team and we've

created a plan to provide services

in even more counties and to even more

individuals the future

is unlimited
