They began as a soup kitchen over 100 years ago, today they are the largest rescue mission in the country. The Mission began as a soup kitchen that provided church services, shelter, food and clothing for the homeless and downtrodden. It changed locations several times and added services to meet the needs of the ever-changing community. Those services include substance abuse treatment, transitional and permanent housing, job preparation and educational courses. Visit the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries on the web.
