Through our outreach van we work to bring those who live on the streets to our shelter where it is safe warm and dry.The HIS Van also provides transportation for other shelters in the community to medical legal or job appointments.The Mission has two residential programs that serve men with transitional housing and men who find daily living a challenge due to mental, physical or developmental disabilities

History:
The Rescue Mission began in 1887 during the time of the Erie Canal. Christians originally founded this ministry to wayward folks who living along the canal. While we have grown to serve the needy of Central New York, our foundations remains the same.We have seen alot of faces of needy people with no food, no bed and no hope,We reach out to them in God's love.
The Rescue Mission is committed to helping anyone who comes here, regardless of their issues or beliefs.
