The Durham Rescue Mission was founded by Ernie and Gail Mills in 1974. This Christian, homeless shelter has grown to be the largest facility in the area, providing food, shelter and long-term, Bible based rehabilitation to men and women. Four divisions serve the needs of single men, single women, women with children and families. We house up to 175 men, women and children a day. Our Victory Program is a 12 month program designed to give men and women a combination of Biblical character and vocational skills needed to rebuild a rewarding life for themselves and their families. We are in the process of raising $5 million, for the construction of 2 complexes, which will give us adequate space to house every homeless person in Durham.
