Mission

The City Rescue Mission of Lansing is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving Michigan’s capital area since 1911. As a Christian ministry, we are committed to meeting the physical and spiritual needs of individuals and families who are underserved including those experiencing homelessness. As the largest shelter in the capital region, the Mission provides safe shelter for approximately 300 women, children, and men each night and serves more than 143,000 meals annually. In addition to emergency shelter and meals, we partner with organizations to provide case management, supportive housing, health insurance, recovery services, medical care, government issued ID's, and other supportive services that help individuals and families pursue stability, healing, and long-term independence. We provide services through our Single Adult Shelter, Women's and Children's Shelter, Low-Barrier Drop-in Center, Community Meals, Thrift Store, and Donation Center. The City Rescue Mission seeks to share the love of Christ through compassionate service, practical support, and meaningful relationships with those we serve. Through the generosity of donors, volunteers, churches, and community partners, we continue our mission of caring for vulnerable members of our community with dignity, compassion, and hope.
