A Commitment to Service

Since 1953, Gospel Rescue Mission (GRM) has been a beacon of hope in Tucson, serving men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. We provide emergency shelter, hot meals, and holistic support while walking alongside each person toward lasting transformation—mind, body, and spirit.

GRM Executive Board

“Gospel Rescue Mission thrives when strong governance and servant leadership come together. Our Board of Directors and Executive Team work side by side—prayerfully guiding vision, providing wise oversight, and strengthening our operations—so our staff can serve boldly, love compassionately, and help people move from homelessness to wholeness.”
