PANAMA CITY RESCUE MISSION IS A FAITH-BASED 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
OUR CITY IN CRISIS
HOMELESSNESS ON THE RISE
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.
URGENT NEED - YOU CAN HELP
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 ROBERT BUNN
Please read Robert's story of courage and triumph…
​
Rob was the victim of childhood trauma from an early age. It was severe enough that he was removed from his parent’s home and placed in a children’s home. Unfortunately, when he aged out of the children’s home, he ended up on the streets for two years. When Rob came to the Mission, he was ready for help, and he received it. He responded well to our case managers, and they lined up other helpful care for him. With our assistance, he quickly got a job and proved himself reliable. Then he applied for enrollment at Gulf Coast State College through their TRIO program and can go to college for free. He now attends classes full time and works to cover his expenses. He recently moved out of our shelter and into the college dorms! We are so proud of you, Rob!!
