Our mission is to serve

Since 2007, I have been a part of Coachella Valley Rescue Mission (CVRM), a place that has profoundly transformed my life. More than just a homeless shelter, CVRM is a program dedicated to restoring lives—mine included. Through this mission, I have found purpose, personal growth, and the privilege of serving those in need, just as I once was.

Angela has been with CVRM since July 2001.

“CVRM has blessed me in so many ways. Working here brings me so much joy to share my testimony and encourage other women who think they can’t, but to let them know, they can do all things through Christ which gives them strength.”

Scott has been with CVRM since 2011, and is grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord through serving the Mission.

“It is a blessing to reach out to the people in our community and share what we do here, and this is the most rewarding career I have ever had. I am looking forward to working with the agencies and businesses in the valley to share the good work of CVRM.”

Working at Coachella Valley Rescue Mission isn’t just a job – it's a calling that reminds me every day of the power of hope and second chances.

The most rewarding part of working here is witnessing the ripple effect of our work. When we help one person get back on their feet, we're not just changing their life – we're impacting their family, their future, and our community. That's what makes CVRM more than just a rescue mission; it's a place where hope takes root and new beginnings become possible.

``I enjoy being a part of CVRM and helping change people’s lives, assisting clients to get to our Programs and any other resources that we may have available. CVRM is truly a blessing to me, it saved my life and I enjoy giving back to the community and sharing my story. I have seen how many of our clients have successfully graduated from our programs and have moved out with a stable job and housing. I look forward to continue assisting our community and helping those in need.``

Being able to provide support, love, and guidance to our most vulnerable clients, including women and children, is incredibly rewarding to me. I feel blessed to use my past experience as a single mother who overcame domestic violence while navigating financial hardships with four children, as a positive testimony that, through Christ, all things are possible. I never take for granted the opportunity to pour love, support, and encouragement into our most precious clients, especially the children.
