Winchester Rescue Mission

A hot meal and a welcoming smile shouldn't be a luxury. But for neighbors right here in Wi******er, the reality of food insecurity is a heavy, daily burden.

Behind every bag of groceries handed out at our weekday Food Market, there is a local family who didn't have to choose between feeding their kids and keeping the lights on this week. Behind every lunch served, there are men and women in our program—and folks from our community—experiencing true hospitality, dignity, and warmth.

As you can see from these photos of our amazing volunteers in action, it takes a village to make this happen. And right now, we have a critical need for that village to grow.

We are looking for dedicated groups (4-6 people) from local businesses, churches, community groups, or even just a few good friends to commit to a regular, monthly schedule with WRM.

Whether it’s taking ownership of lunch on the 2nd Sunday of every month, or covering the Food Market on the 3rd Thursday, these regular rhythms are the heartbeat of our operation. (If you have the availability to come once a week, we have opportunities for that, too!)

How it works:
• If you cover the Food Market: Just bring yourselves and a willing heart!
• If you cover a Meal: You can use the food we already have in our pantry—we just need the hands to prepare and serve it. (If your group is able to provide the food as well, that is a tremendous blessing, but not required!)

When you commit to a monthly schedule, you aren't just volunteering—you are becoming a consistent, familiar face of hope for people who desperately need it.

Will your group step up?

When the sun goes down and the rest of Wi******er powers off for the night, the work at the Rescue Mission doesn't stop. In fact, that's often when our guests need us the most.

We are looking for a Program Team Member to step into our crucial "off hours." This role is so much more than just keeping the lights on or watching the door. It is about being the steady, calming presence that provides true safety, security, and stability for our residents when they are most vulnerable.

For someone navigating the trauma of homelessness, the quiet hours of the evening or the long stretch of a weekend can be the hardest to face. As a Program Team Member, you will be the person who ensures our residents have a peaceful, secure environment so they can finally get a safe night of sleep. Rooted in a Christ-centered foundation, this position is essential to our mission to offer healing from the past, help in the present, and hope for the future through restored dignity and relationships.

If you are someone who naturally brings peace to a room and wants to make a profound, tangible impact during the hours that matter most, we want you on our team.

Sometimes, the most powerful tool for ending homelessness isn't a program—it's a person pulling up a chair and saying, "I'm with you."

We are currently interviewing and searching for the right person to join our team as a Full-Time Case Manager. As we head into this week, we are still looking for that specific individual who views this work as an opportunity to walk alongside our neighbors and offer real hope for the future.

A Case Manager provides the individualized support that helps our clients navigate their way to stability. In this role, you aren't just managing files; you are developing personalized case plans, connecting residents with vital housing and employment resources, and providing the ongoing emotional support needed for long-term self-sufficiency.

What we are looking for:

A Bachelor's degree in social work, nonprofit management, or a related field.

At least two years of case management experience.

Alignment with our core values of hospitality, ownership, passion, excellence, faith, unity, and learning.

Full-time availability.

If your heart beats for offering healing from the past and help in the present, we want you at the table.
