Next, there are shelves of dry goods and the cold chiller to choose items. I love it that I have been offered a bouquet of fresh flowers. Then, there is a huge box of canned goods to pick from. To the left of the warehouse are grocery items to purchase. Most items are well below store prices. Between each of the sides, there are large boxes that may have stuffed animals, bottled beverages, pet supplies, and so on. The GAP Ministries takes both cash and SNAP cards. I have always found the staff to be polite and helpful. I'm truly grateful for this service.

I recently met with the children and family services coordinator who told me they take women and children and offer daycare to residents, in order to provide job training for interested women. Both men and women are offered services. On campus is an El rio health clinic so people could get health services. There's food available. There's places to sleep. There's an intake counter for people in need, look for the Welcome center building. The gospel rescue mission is always in need of volunteers to do various things. If you go to their website, you can apply to volunteer.

I worked as the receptionist here for approximately four months…read more If I could describe my experience here in one word, it would be "incompetent." My direct supervisor, as well as the team I worked with, were very pretentious. I truly did not feel like a part of the team working there. They seemed more concerned about the workplace drama than about the work. Senior leadership were egotistical. Interacting with them in any capacity was extremely unpleasant. This was a breeding ground for gossip, as I caught my colleagues gossiping about others employees several times. The homeless population deserves better than what this joke of a company can provide.

It was a good fit and I got a short tour. Now I know what they need I ll try again. Located at first and prince. Plain tan building, no name. Just a logo. Lots of staff to sort and organize and display. Not a price tag in sight. That is a first for me. A Great experience.

I took a tour and learned a lot! GRM has the ability to house nearly 400 people - men, women, and…read morenow families too. There are carefully monitored guidelines including strict intolerance of drugs/alcohol, violence, and even hate language. Every resident must participate in a program (learning, job training, etc.) as well as in requirements of the house - cleanliness, chores. These all evolve from their mantra: love, grace, dignity, and respect. It is demanded by and from residents and staff. Remarkably, it is intrinsically self-policed, that is, residents will call out misbehavior by a peer before staff ever need to. And, despite their Christian roots, participation (by staff volunteers and the unhoused) is non-proselytizing. We learned that medications are also strictly regulated - no one can have them loose by their bed, etc. All meds are locked and carefully distributed directly to the assigned patient-resident one day at a time. Once a resident has completed job training they become eligible to attend a Pima College certificate program - one that, again, GRM pays for. These ultimately lead a resident to become employment ready. One of the really cool things about GRM is that residents stay until they have BOTH a job and an apartment lined up... and, maybe a bit counter-intuitive, despite all that's provided for free, residents are self-motivated TO graduate. GRM manages to accomplish all of this on a budget of around $12-15M per year. We learned that they regularly receive corporate donations from the likes of Amazon (giant pallet surprises) as well as from area businesses. Another cool thing is that donations from individuals like you/me are never resold. Rather all are distributed in-house, frequently to those graduating to their own place. Moreover, they have a small fleet of trucks (think medium-sized U-Hauls) that will drive to you and pick up any donated furniture or appliances... for free! They will go as far south as Green Valley and as far north as Oro Valley and all in between, east/ west. These items provide "graduates" with the modest items to furnish their new apartment. There were other volunteers in attendance on this Saturday as well and you can register to volunteer most anytime. I have since brought my last two "goodwill" loads to this (local) charity!
