The Long Beach Rescue Mission is debuting its new tool for outreach, which can travel all over the city.
Instead of people coming to them, the faith-based nonprofit will now meet their prospective clients in the field thanks to their new"Search and Rescue" van.
Levine said that donors helped purchase the van which will help staff drive around, searching for anyone needing a hot meal, toiletries, resources and prayer. With a 62% increase in homeless in Long Beach in the last two years, they said the need is greater than ever. After helping Lynette, the staff continued with their mission and eventually ran into Aretha and J.R., two strangers that live next to each other on the same sidewalk. The team gave them burritos and some toiletries.
"Not everybody is ready to come into the shelter," said Levine. So, being able to cultivate relationships, establish a trust — they now have access to our program director. They know where our resources.
