Hope Rescue Mission / LightHouse Women & Children's Center

About Us

Since 1894, Hope Rescue Mission has been a place of refuge for the homeless men of Berks County, PA.

We shelter over 1,000 men every year through four residential programs that allow men to work while they transition back into the community as productive and independent individuals.

We have expanded our mission withThe Lighthouse Women and Children's Center, which opened in 2023. The LightHouse offers women and children an environment of safety, dignity and compassion while they are getting back on their feet.
