Meet the Durham Rescue Mission Staff

Since 1974, our team has been fully dedicated to our mission of providing food, shelter, clothes, counseling, and more to homeless, addicted, and/or broken men, women and children of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. We appreciate every donation and every volunteer that has helped make what we do possible.

A Team That Works For Good

Since the beginning, the Lord has brought together a wonderful group of people to serve Him in this mission through administration, management, counseling and other essential roles. Many of our staff members actually joined our team after experiencing a changed life through the ministry of the Durham Rescue Mission.

We are thankful for all the ways we have been blessed by our staff — we truly would not be where we are today without the dedication and hard work of each of them.
