We are committed to helping people who are experiencing homelessness and addiction in our city change their lives. Thanks to the support of friends like you, we meet their needs through meals, shelter, and long-term, life-changing programs.

Emergency Services

Hundreds in our city wonder where they will spend the night, where their next meal will come from and if they will make it one more day alone on the streets. The first step in restoring their lives is meeting them at their points of need with emergency services that can take them to the next step in recovery and renewal.

Meals

Hunger and the health issues caused by malnutrition create instability and a seemingly endless cycle of brokenness and depression, leading some people to abuse drugs and alcohol as an escape.

We provide these basic services in order to build trust and develop relationships with the people we serve, encouraging them to consider long-term solutions.


Breakfast and dinner meals are available at the Mission for guests 365 days a year.


Shelter

We offer warm, clean and safe shelter every night to men experiencing homelessness in our city.

By solving a simple need like shelter, we enable people in need to focus on more important things like taking steps to join a long-term program, find employment or secure stable housing.

Shelter at Fort Collins Rescue Mission is for men only. If you are a woman, single mother or family seeking help, contact us for services that may meet your needs.

Recovery

The stress of living in poverty or struggling on the streets often leads people to abusing drugs and alcohol as an escape — creating a cycle of brokenness. Our New Life Program equips men to overcome these challenges and develop a renewed sense of hope.

Broken relationships, job loss, lack of education, and drug and alcohol addiction are common obstacles our homeless neighbors face every day. Over time, these struggles can become their new normal, until all they can see in themselves is brokenness, hardship and failure, leading them to believe they will never be able to make changes. In the New Life Program, we equip men to overcome these challenges and develop a renewed sense of hope and identity.

Prevention

Families and individuals from low-income or at-risk households sometimes find themselves forced to decide between rent or bills that can put them on the brink of homelessness.

Prevention is an innovative program that helps stop homelessness before it even starts. In partnership with public schools, we help families at risk of losing their housing with one-time financial and case management support.
