Cookeville Rescue Mission

Jesus changed my life but I don't believe it would have been possible if it weren't for the Cookeville rescue mission. I love you guys!!!

I stayed here for 3 weeks as a homeless single father and they were the only place to have a room specifically for single fathers. I'm grateful they let me stay here and helped me with everything I needed for me and my kid. They helped me out with clothes and food, gave me information about jobs and other places to help me out for transportation and places to apply to live at. They were understanding of my situation and were here to help with anything they could. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone else that's looking for help, whether you're just homeless or have mental or drug issues, they have everything here that can help you. It's run by people who have been there and done that, they know how to help you with whatever situation you might be in, you just have to be willing to accept the help and willing to do better for yourself.

I LOVE JESUS CHRIST, THEY FAILED ME FOR A DRUG I DIDNT DO SCAMTEST, EVEN FAILED FOR ALCOHOL I HADNT HAD ANY ALCOHOL IN YEARS(SAVE 3ISH TIMES I DONT KNOW) NOR DRUGS!!! ZERO!!!
