Women and Children's Emergency Overnight Shelter


About the Women's Shelter
Women & Children's Shelter - 2006
The Women & Children's Shelter provides a sober, structured environment with daily responsibilities and Bible study. The time limit varies as to the needs of the individual. An interview and picture ID are required to utilize services at the shelter. An interview may be scheduled at 4:00pm any day of the week.

Here in the Women and Children's Shelter, we get to experience God's transforming power in hearts and lives as ladies take refuge in our care. They learn to save their money, pay their bills, connect with services, find employment, and acquire skills they need to continue on in support of themselves and their families. We are able to provide so much more than just a roof here; we create an atmosphere where women can learn how to be accountable, responsible, think through issues and how to better relate to other people.

The key aspect, the most important and meaningful part of this ministry for our guests, is solid and consistent exposure to the gospel of Jesus Christ. During our chapel service women are given the choice and gift of learning about what Christ has done for us, and who He really is; they are given a chance to really live!

As you know, our purpose is to provide food, shelter, clothing and showers in order to have an opportunity to meet the spiritual need and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Testimonials

Thankful For Eureka Rescue Mission

This past June I was driving up and down the interstate between Salem and San Diego lost, confused, broke and tired. I was directed to Eureka Rescue Mission.

There, they offered me a hot meal, hot shower and bedding. Soon they connected me with services to find employment, housing and with their encouraging words and caring attitude I was able to get a job and started school and got on my feet. I stayed there for four great months and then left for school.

Eureka Rescue Mission’s logo is “rebuilds broken lives one at a time” and that is true in my case and many others who went through their doors. Even though the Eureka Rescue Mission is a faith-based organization, my faith and religious beliefs never were questioned; they are in this for humanity and service to other people. I believe we have to recognize and acknowledge their effort for a better community and world.

This organization provides a sober environment with love and care. They welcome people from all backgrounds and the only thing they are expecting from you is to respect staff and other guests and to stay sober. This organization is a non-tax supported, nonprofit, which is supported completely by generous donations from friends and community members and also from the sale of donated merchandise at their thrift store. There is also a free thrift store available to everyone.

Please be supportive and help keep homeless people off the street and warm this season. Lisa, Kaci, Melanie, Chris and Kelly, I’m very grateful to know you all. - Feri Arian, Eureka
