Volunteering to client assistance; this place helps as many as they can. They try not to turn away and believe in The Lord! Amen 🙏

READ ALL. The Mission gave me an initial sense of hope, with an “arms wide open” type approach that was emotionally charging upon intake and several days in. Within a weeks time, it was painfully obvious that this place not only poses as a welcoming, family safe facility, the Christian backbone of RMMV does not mirror what it claims to value. Intentionally forcing clients to continuously question themselves in an already demoralizing setting, using manipulative tactics to cause emotional pain and suffering proved itself to be at the forefront of most of the staff’s daily agenda. Ultimately, if you’re looking to be part of a program that presents itself as a modern day salvation but proves to be the “gas-lighting” manipulators of tomorrow, RMMV is the place for you to hone your evil and mentally abuse your family, friends & peers. 4 1/2 months there nearly killed me and I say that without any fabrication.

If I could give 0 stars I would. God forbid you're pregnant and have absolutely nowhere to go, they do not care. I sat in their overnight room for hours then was told they needed a special letter from a healthcare provider before they could even take me in there. Even after I had someone send them what they needed, they nitpicked about it not being in the right format or worded the right way. This is not what Jesus would want, people being so rude to turn down a pregnant woman over slight discrepancies. Another thing too, while being questioned they said 'couch surfing or sleeping in your car doesn't count as homeless' you know it's real nice to assume what someone's going through when you have no idea. Neither of those things were the case.

This place came in handle when I needed it most. The rooms are spacious and clean. You can bring some food to put in your locker and they provide three meals for you. Most of the staff is friendly and of course you have tho use you like the most. You are to be up early and everyday is church except Saturday in which if you do decide to go to church it’s at 4pm. If not you are to go outside you aren’t allow inside the building. You can bring you own humidifier which I Suggest doing as the air is dry. Some room are really cold and other are warm. You can have up to five things in the fridge but for only three days at a time. They do offer plenty of resources to help you get on your feet I would suggest doing research on your own thou and getting proactive in advance. As long as you abide by the rules you will be fine here. This is one of the best shelters I ever been at and am greatful to have had the chance to be here to get on my feet. They do drugs test and do not tolerate it if and should you be found with it or in your system. If you should need daily supplies to take care of hygiene or diapers for babies they have those things for you. Clothes, shoes, shocks Ect they are great at getting stuff you need. They offer 9 mths here but longer if you are working towards your goals and need that extra boost. You do have to save up if you are working which is great cause you’ll have that money when you leave. You can get a dress bus from there anywhere you need to go and they have resources for work as well. Rescue mission thank you to the person that established this place it has been a blessing for us.

The Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley is the best place in the entire city for helping the homeless. The environment was clean, new, fresh and welcoming. I had a very pleasant experience, and will recommend them to everyone in need. Thank you Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley
