rdf:langString The Milwaukee Rescue Mission (MRM) provides meals, shelter, education and recovery services to struggling men, women and children. MRM's mission statement says: Sharing God's love by caring for those who are poor in body, mind and spirit, to see lives transformed through Christ to hope, joy and lasting productivity. Since 1893, MRM has helped hurting people restore their lives and their hope. On any given night there are nearly 800 homeless people in Milwaukee. They seeks to meet those in need where they are by offering practical assistance like food (approximately 366,000 meals in 2020), clothing (nearly 73,000 items), and shelter (over 70,000 nights) to those in need. In addition, MRM offers transformative programs that equip struggling men, women, and children to get off the streets and turn their lives around for good. While practical assistance is important, MRM offers both short- and long-term programming that includes education, counseling, help in overcoming substance abuse, job training and much more. The organization addresses the root causes of problems, rather than stopping at simple temporary fixes. As a non-denominational Christian organization, it provides spiritual development and enrichment, all based on the good news of the Gospel; it professes that the Gospel message is the key to lasting change. The Milwaukee Rescue Mission is part of the Citygate Network.
