Grant County Rescue Mission - Marion, Indiana

People here are wonderful. They do their best to help those in need and they inspire people to be the best they can be. I recommend going to the mission just to eat a free meal and possibly make a donation to them because they look out for the less fortunate and help the public as much as they can. God bless their home.

The staff here named Randy has been setting me up for failure. I have came back multiple times to infraction to things I personally know I didn't do. I'm at. 4 infractions now one more and I'm out.

My stay was short because the Lord opened another door for me shortly after going, but it was the best shelter I've ever been in for someone with my disabilities. I have 3 terminal illnesses, mild dementia, moderate cognitive impairments, including physical and psychological issues. They accommodated them as much as they could. The stairs and kitchen details were hard on me, but they worked with me concerning them. Wish they had like a "buddy system" though, where a longer resident that knew the ropes kinda looked after a newer 1, because there are a lot of rules and "do's and don'ts" and alot to remember that you're told at check in, especially for people with memory issues. 1 of the men in charge named "Randy" was the most helpful, informative, and nicest person there. So many residents for so little employees, but they get their jobs done. No place is perfect and all have negatives and positives. This place has more positives. It's not like the rules are hard to obide by. I didn't see any kind of social work or any anybody to guide anyone to who or where to get whatever helps you might need or anything, and sometimes we don't know what or who to ask...and some of the residents got their own issues rather than care about stearing others in the right direction. God bless this place.

My name is Will, and I am an elder at my church (name above). I was a resident at GCRM for over a year, while I was waiting on my disability - Being hurt @ work and becoming disabled was what led to me being homeless. But God has a purpose for each and every one of us!! I am living proof of that.

When I arrived at the mission, it wasn't really fit for occupancy but not long afterward, new management came in and made changes, improving the standard of living there considerably. Their dedication to improving the facility as best as they could (the building is a repurposed former phone company building), and improving the lives of those who end up there, is a testament to Christian charity. The staff have created a workfare program that keeps the residents occupied, mind and body. Worship services there mend the spirit, Sundays & Tuesdays. 3 meals a day feed those in need, whether a resident or visitor.

If you live in the area, no matter what church you attend (or don't attend), please look within to see if God is calling you to support this ministry. A little or a lot, it all counts. Your help can assist an unfortunate soul to find God, get back on their feet, and become a productive part of the community once again. "Paying it forward" can begin with you.

Randy has been very disrespectful towards me he has set me up and got me kicked out.

This place truly cares about people I've never seen a place do so much for the community, and for the homeless, they actually treat the residents like humans and do whatever they can do to help them out. That's the best part of it. Honestly. I wish the community would donate more to this place. Because this place is one of you that definitely help. And that surely half-staff that Actually care about what they do

It’s always a joy to worship at the GCRM chapel whenever I get the opportunity. I always enjoy sharing God’s word at the GCRM whenever I get invited. The women and men of the GCRM are always encouraging to me. The staff are friendly. Thank you for the hospitality Pastor Jeremy and Brad. May God continue to bless the GCRM.
