For a brief overview about our Outreach Alliance project, please read below:

The Rescue Mission has formed an Outreach Alliance to offer space for training and collaboration to groups and individuals doing outreach to those experiencing homelessness in Pierce County. Outreach Alliance holds quarterly meetings, which are an opportunity to gather with others doing similar work and learn from facilitators about topics including: Outreach 101, Trauma-Informed Care, Mental Health First Aid, De-Escalation Techniques, and more.

Our vision is that our coordinated efforts will result in a greater number of individuals on the streets being reached by relational outreach efforts. As a result, we hope that more of these individuals will connect with life-changing services and move off the streets, for good.
