Mission Statement:
“We exist to provide help, hope and a future to the hungry, homeless and hopeless in our community through the power and love of Jesus Christ.”
Services Offered:
Keeping in line with their mission statement, the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission (IFRM) provides a variety of services all with the objective of helping the homeless and the hopeless.
- Shelters: One of IFRM’s largest interventions comes from the three shelters that they operate 24/7 all year long. The three shelters are divided into women, women and children, and men, each located on the west side of Idaho Falls.
- Food Ministry: IFRM provides meals to anyone in the community in need of a meal on a daily basis. There is no sign in required and dinner will be provided from 6-7 pm each night. The kitchen runs entirely by volunteers and donations.
- Case Management: Free case management is offered to anyone in need, staying in their shelters or not. To take advantage of this service the client or their advocate should call the appropriate shelter for their situation and they will be assigned to a case manager from there. Case Managers at IFRM are City Vision University certified and are well informed in community services and homelessness resources throughout Eastern Idaho.
- Community Events: Community Youth in Action parties/Coffee Hours/Scoop Jam Ice Cream Social/Christmas Toy Drive/and many more. Check out community events and fundraisers https://www.facebook.com/ifrescuemission/
