The Mobile Mission was founded in 1949 and merged with the Waterfront Rescue Mission in June 1989. Located in downtown Mobile, the Mission meets the needs of hundreds of hungry and homeless men every year. Last year close to 36,000 meals were served, well over 13,000 nights of shelter were provided, and thousands of articles of clothing were distributed to those in need.

In addition to these rescue services, the Mobile Mission also offers a 6-month Christ-centered Substance Abuse Recovery Program for men. These men live in a dormitory setting at the Mission. Their Program includes daily Bible studies, chapel services, chemical dependency classes, and Biblical Christian counseling. The Program requires each man to work a job assignment at the Mission every day – not for pay, but for the benefit of their recovery.

The first three months of the six-month Program are completed at the Mission on State Street. Then, if the expected progress is being made, the Chaplains usually recommend that the man transfer to New Hope Home in Gulf Breeze, Florida for the last three months of his Program.
