Cherokee County Rescue Mission is a safe emergency shelter for men, women, and mothers with young children that provides food, shelter, clothing and compassion for those experiencing homelessness. Men and women are housed in separate dormitory-style wings. The Crisis Shelter Program provides short-term services for guest who desire only temporary shelter. More in-depth services are provided through the New Life Program for guests who seek more comprehensive care. With the help of our counselors and case managers, we aim to move guests toward stability and healthy relationships. Services provided include educational opportunities, basic life skills, discipleship, and free medical help through New Horizons.
People in our shelters usually arrive with very few personal possessions—if any at all. You can help meet their basic needs by donating items such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and other things directly to this shelter. Before you donate, we ask that you contact the shelter directly to determine our most current needs.
If you would like to share your God-given talents with those in our care, we invite you to volunteer at the Cherokee County Rescue Mission. We welcome individuals and groups and offer all types of opportunities. Whether you want to lend professional expertise or participate in a recreational activity, we can find a place for you.
Mentors help our program participants strengthen their relationships with Jesus Christ while also providing friendship and spiritual guidance along the way. If you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and exhibit a consistent, Christ-like testimony to those your life would impact, we invite you to become a Miracle Hill Ministries mentor.
