PANAMA CITY RESCUE MISSION IS A FAITH-BASED 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

OUR CITY IN CRISIS

HOMELESSNESS ON THE RISE

March-2021-homeless-person-on-park-bench.jpg

Problem:

Homelessness in our area has become a major crisis.  Our City has endured many misfortunes in the past six years.  From Hurricane Michael devastation, to the COVID pandemic, to the rising cost of food and housing.  Opioid drug use has increased, there are more mental health issues than ever before, food costs have skyrocketed, medical costs are unaffordable, and housing is unattainable for a lot of the residents in our community.  As a result, the amount of homeless individuals in our area has increased tremendously.

Solution:

Panama City Rescue Mission (PCRM) Faith-Based Life Transformation Program.  PCRM is now open at both the Men's Facility and our Women and Children's Facility, Bethel Village.  We are a Faith-Based Transitional Living Program that incorporates food, shelter, free medical assistance, free mental health assistance, job placement, case management, free transportation, free college tuition, financial classes, art therapy, Biblical Studies, deposits for housing, and free Florida ID's all through our partnering Agencies.  We do not receive Government, State, or City funding to run our Programs.  It is 100% from your financial donations and donated products from our donors.  Working together as a community with donations from our donors and coordinating with our partnering Agencies, we are able to provide our homeless residents with a path to restoration in our community.  HELP US BUILD A SAFE COMMUNITY.  TOGETHER WE CAN FLOURISH.

How You Can Help:

​

Donate:

PCRM accepts financial and product donations from our community.  You can donate online, through Venmo, through snail mail, or by walking in to one of our facilities.  We accept product donations Monday through Friday, 8AM - 4PM at our Men's Facility located at 609 Allen Avenue.  

​

Volunteer:

PCRM accepts volunteers Monday through Friday from 10AM - 4PM at our 609 Allen Avenue Facility.  If you would like to volunteer, please email us at info@pcrmission.org.

We are in need of Christ Following Volunteers willing to spend time with our residents from our Men's Facility or Women & Children's Facility to mentor, fellowship, and provide Christian Support to our residents.   This can consist of coming on-site to visit, going for coffee, taking them to church, providing Christian Counseling, getting them out into the Community to meet other Christians, or just stopping by to check in with them weekly.  If you feel led to become a mentor, please contact our head Chaplain, Tim Krisko at tkrisko@pcrmission.org

SPOTLIGHT

MEET CHRIS DICKSON

Chris.jpg

Please read Chris’ story of courage and triumph…    

                                                                     

Chris grew up in the church but he was led away by drinking and partying. During this time his sister was murdered, and he could not handle the grief well. Consequently, he turned to drugs to soothe his pain.

Chris’ seven-year addiction to drugs left him homeless. At the peak of his addiction, he went into to a church. He confessed to God that he could not overcome his addiction and asked God to deliver him from it. That very day God started a work in Chris. He got arrested, but when he went to jail he felt moved to request a room in the faith-based dorm. Surrounded by other men seeking God, he felt a spirit of peace and healing and realized that God had answered his prayer. Based on the prison chaplain’s advice, Chris immediately came to the Panama City Rescue Mission when he was released from jail.

​

When asked what the Panama City Rescue Mission means to him, Chris responded, “The mission provided me a place of safety, growth and stability to work on my life and to grow with God. Before I knew it, I had reached one year of sobriety.” Chris now claims Mark 11:24 as his life verse. “Whatever you have asked in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

​

Without your financial support there could not be a Chris story.  Thank you for making it possible to assist so many who are hurting, hopeless, homeless and addicted.

With the support and prayers from people like you, we will continue to cheer our forty-one current residents on to the same success!

​

P.S. Chris reclaimed his life due to the support provided by you - our donors and our volunteers!  Our financial literacy classes, our parenting classes, our bible studies, our addiction recovery programs are taught by you – our volunteers. Our overhead costs are covered by you - our donors. Please send your gift today. This is a team effort so please join us in rejoicing as a team!
