With the leadership and guidance of "The New Director" there has been a lot of change here at the Mission, some of these changes include two dorms, one to house "men" and one to house "women." The Mission also now has a shower for the less fortunate to come and use if need be.

Also implemented was a "Life Recovery Program" for both men and women, this is a program that incorporates NA & AA, along with spirituality. We also educate our residents, "Adult School / Vocational School," in the Program, on money management, job search; work ethics and time management.

The Mission also now works with C-SET "Dept. of Alternative Sentencing of youths," C-SET "work experience." We work also with Proteus, Probation "Adult & Juvenile" and the Court system along with CPS. We try to give people a fighting chance at changing their lives for the better.

The Porterville Rescue Mission has come a long way since the initial formation. The potential for outreach and growth from this Mission is exponential!! The Mission is in need of more bed space, and more food for our food pantries. The less fortunate families, out in our community, and out lying areas alone are increasing. We must meet these needs. Being a non-profit organization, without grants or government assistance, we rely solely on the community for monetary support, donations of food, and other supplies. Your donation is tax deductible and is used to assist those in the community that are in need. We are blessed with each donor as they give from their hearts. {pdf}
