WHO WE ARE

Peninsula Rescue Mission, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 1966, is committed to assisting Virginia Peninsula men and women through difficult times. Learn more.

WHAT WE DO

Life doesn’t always go as planned — jobs are lost, relationships break down, and sometimes one difficult choice can lead to hardship. But homelessness is rarely a choice. When the unthinkable happens, we want to be a place where men and women can find safety, support, and hope. At Peninsula Rescue Mission, we help equip people with practical tools as they transition through a crises towards stability.
