About Us
Rescuing Teens. Restoring Hope. Rebuilding Futures.
Every night in America, thousands of teenagers are sleeping on park benches, in abandoned buildings, or couch surfing with strangers. They’ve been driven from their homes by abuse, addiction, rejection, or systems that failed them. They’re vulnerable, exploited, and often completely alone.
We believe that shouldn’t happen — not in this country, not on our watch.
American Rescue Mission exists to change that.
🔹 Who We Are
We are a nationwide coalition of local churches and community partners committed to serving runaway and at-risk youth — especially those who’ve been overlooked, abandoned, or forgotten. We provide immediate help and long-term hope by meeting teens where they are, physically and emotionally.
Whether it’s a safe place to sleep, clean clothes, food, hygiene, or a caring adult who listens — we make sure the help is real, local, and delivered with dignity.
🔹 Why We Do It
The need is growing.
Over 4.2 million youth experience homelessness every year in the U.S.
1 in 3 runaway teens will be approached by a trafficker within 48 hours.
Teen suicide, depression, and abuse are at record highs.
These aren’t just statistics. These are real kids with names, dreams, and stories — and many have no one left to fight for them.
That’s where we step in.
🔹 How It Works
We fund and equip a network of local churches and grassroots partners to provide:
Emergency shelter and housing placement
Meals, clothing, hygiene, and health resources
Mentorship, crisis support, and connection
A path forward through education, jobs, and life guidance
Every dollar raised supports these front-line efforts — delivered locally, where it’s needed most.
🔹 Our Values
Our roots are faith-based, and we believe in the inherent worth of every young person. But you don’t need to believe what we believe to receive help — or to offer it.
What matters most is compassion. Action. Showing up.
❤️ Join the Mission
We are not government-funded. Everything we do is powered by people like you — individuals, families, and communities who refuse to stand by while teens suffer in silence.
Your donation can be the reason a young person chooses hope instead of hopelessness.
Please, partner with us today. Help us reach the next teen before it’s too late.
Make An Impact - Donate Today
The work we do — the teens we rescue, the lives we restore, the futures we help rebuild — it’s only possible because of people like you.
You’ve seen the impact. You know the need. But none of it happens without donors who care.
Every safe bed, every meal, every second chance starts with someone saying, “Yes, I’ll help.”
We can't do this alone.
Please — give now. Help us reach the next teen in crisis before it's too late.
