Walking Out The Word In Love

At the core of Reach & Rescue Ministries is a deep commitment to meeting the physical and emotional needs of those experiencing homelessness. Through regular outreach initiatives, the ministry distributes food items, clean clothing, hygiene kits, and other essential supplies to men, women, and families who are living in temporary shelters, transitional units, or low-income housing. 

These efforts not only provide immediate relief but also serve as a bridge to trust and connection, reminding individuals that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

Beyond the physical support, each interaction is approached with compassion and spiritual encouragement. Volunteers offer prayer, conversation, and a warm presence—creating moments of peace and dignity in the midst of crisis. This outreach is not just about handing out goods; it’s about building relationships that can lead to restoration, healing, and hope.

Our Mission

The mission of Reach & Rescue Ministries, Inc. is to demonstrate the love of Jesus through spiritual, physical, and social assistance to families who experience poverty and homelessness. 

For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Luke 19:10

Women & Family Assistance

Women and children in crisis are among the most vulnerable populations, and Reach & Rescue is devoted to ensuring they receive specialized support. Through partnerships with local women’s shelters and transitional homes like Laura’s Home and Haven Home, the ministry delivers care packages, clothing, hygiene products, baby items, and emotional support tailored to women’s unique needs. The goal is to create a foundation of stability where these women can begin to rebuild their lives.

In addition, programs for single mothers and family transition aid offer vital assistance as they work toward self-sufficiency. Volunteers often serve as mentors or case aides, helping families navigate complex challenges like relocation, legal issues, or accessing social services. The ministry ensures that no mother has to walk the journey alone—offering both practical help and the uplifting encouragement of a supportive faith community.

Transitional Assistance Program 

One of the most life-changing services Reach & Rescue offers is its Transitional Assistance Program, which helps individuals and families move from homelessness or temporary shelters into safe, stable housing. This process involves more than just handing over keys—it includes furnishing new spaces with donated beds, tables, cookware, and other household essentials to create a true sense of home.

The ministry also supports clients with relocation logistics, referrals to additional services, and ongoing check-ins to ensure their stability. Many recipients of this program are stepping into independence after escaping domestic violence, recovering from addiction, or enduring long-term homelessness. Through this program, Reach & Rescue not only provides a fresh start—but also affirms each person’s worth and potential.

Bible Studies & Spiritual Support

Reach & Rescue Ministries recognizes that true transformation begins from within. That’s why weekly Bible studies and spiritual gatherings are held at shelters and transitional housing locations across Lorain County. These programs create sacred spaces where individuals can encounter the love of God, reflect on scripture, and receive encouragement to walk a new path—no matter their past or current struggles.

Mentorship & Recovery Support 

Healing from addiction, trauma, or long-term hardship requires more than programs—it requires people who care. Reach & Rescue Ministries offers one-on-one mentorship and spiritual counseling to individuals seeking recovery and renewal. These relationships are rooted in compassion, trust, and the shared belief that no life is beyond restoration. Mentors walk alongside their mentees through setbacks and victories, always pointing them back to hope and purpose.

 

Whether someone is newly sober or transitioning out of incarceration, this support system helps break cycles of despair and equips individuals with the tools to live free and whole. By integrating biblical principles with real-world guidance, the ministry creates a powerful pathway for transformation. Many who’ve walked this journey go on to mentor others, becoming living proof of what grace, community, and second chances can do.
