Springs Rescue Mission Reviews

Place is awesome.
We need more world peace like this.
A lot of people live out of there means and can lead to uncertain trials.
The rescue mission get 5 stars from me.
People who donate make this place possible, I think sometimes they need to see and or experience what they are donating to.

Lice, hunger, they don't turn the heater on in the shelter. But they have a brand new facility. It's auswits. Run from this place or commit a crime. Mental illness on a level I've never encountered from being on the streets and I've been all over the country.

Easy to find location when dropping off donations. Helpful staff.

Okay
Yes

Terrible place to be, especially in the winter. Hopefully u don't freeze to death from them putting you out in the cold weather.

Place to shower and rest and get things rolling again!!!

i really don't have anything to say about the mission i only get my mail there

It's a place to sleep some staff are very unprofessional gotta be up at 7 even if it's freezing outside gotta stand in line at 2 to be let in at 6 it's a very uncoordinated art the least

Amazing place doing amazing things. I donate clothing from residents who have passed at my work. They are always so welcoming and thankful and kind.

Ppl are nice, but...... Get your stuff stolen every time

Springs is phenomenal. They have a low-barrier campus where people can come without cleaning themselves up first. They can bring their pets and all of their stuff to the shelter with them and are allowed to be under the influence as long as they are not a threat to anyone. The compassionate staff and volunteers then patiently walk alongside people until they are ready to end their homelessness. They help people get off drugs, get jobs, and rebuild their lives. They even have affordable, permanent housing coming soon. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Was asked to leave for seven day over having smarties candy. Was not aloud my medical supplies.

Helps the community in more ways than anyone could imagine. Springs RESCUE Mission does a lot for the homeless community

Great place to drop off unwanted clothing if your lucky you may see an od or a bum fight.

The appearamce is very poor as there are homeless all over, I underatand this is a shelter for them, but staff do a horrible job at the outdoor appearance because there is people sitting/sleeping in cars, getting high in cars. I also seen two staff ladies smoking pot in their car then spray fabreez all over themselves. Very unprofessional setting. They kick the homeless out by 5/6am while it is still freezing cold (sometimes the coldest hours) and arent allowed back in until 5pm roughly. They also let homeless sleep outside with their animals.

Crackheads everywhere shooting up and smoking meth and no one care a couple fights a day and they get rewarded with food trucks awesome

Thank you SRM. I love you all. Jersey and Nina, now supporting ourselves in Castle Rock.

Too much stilling, violence, drugs. I have no choice to stay here.3 year I've been trying to to get housing, I'm stuck, I'm on disability.

After living there for some time, I was accepted at Ft.Lyon...After 8 mos.sobriety, I attend the Friday night CA meetings. Recovery is strong among those who want it. Whenever I'm in the Springs I attend. I remember where I came from and am proud of where I am going. Thank You All!!!

They have meals, showers, and beds for the homeless as well as emergency food and clothes available daily. They can also help with getting an address and vital documents so you can get a job.

Thank you for all that you do! I recommend volunteering here!

This place flip flops so much , I have been here 12 days and only had 2 showers in the day time you play a lottery to shower at night you need a job to have a shower . don't come here if you like to be clean.

Hot showers. Free clothes and other items Mon/Wed/Fri 1100am-100pm

I heard good things from a few people, one of which had volunteered there. And it appears to be a really nice place with alot to offer. But when I reached out while homeless and living in my car, I didn't seem to get anywhere. I went down there 4 days, 3 in a row, seeking housing assistance, food, and maybe shelter. The first day I was told to go to the wrong door so I sit in the parking lot all day, rechecking the door I was told to go to, and going back to the only employee I was able to find. He didn't seem to know where everyone was, kept saying they must be in a meeting. The 2nd day a guest finally showed me the actual entrance which is in a gated area on the opposite end of the building. But, after being there for 2 hours starting at 7am, I was apparently too late to recieve any help that day. I was told I would have to start with a "navigations counselor". Apparently they keep their sign up sheets so unless you know who they are and can catch them, you cant sign up. The 3rd day I came back, was told if I got there early I would see a navigations counselor and could sign up. Waited 4 hours but none were there, needed to leave for a job interview so asked again, I was told to come back in 2 days and I would be on a list for an appointment. Came back 2 days later and was not on a list, and of course no navigation councelors there. Not sure what the secret is to get help, but I spent 4 days asking over and over until I finally gave up. No one seems to know what all is going on, and there is no direction for new people. The "navigation councelors" are the only way to recieve meals or shelter, but I have no idea how to get an appointment with them.

As someone who worked for the homeless, and unfortunately has found myself homeless on more than one occasion, there is one common issue I seem to run into. Being able to navigate resources can be almost impossible without help. This organization really needs someone to greet people and tell them where/how to access the resources that would help their situation. Waiting days, or maybe even weeks (4 days I had no luck so gave up) to speak to a navigation counselor just to recieve a meal or shelter is just too long. People are already down, so many will give up. And the organization should do better at training people on the basics of how they opperate. If the right hand has no idea what the left is doing, and just leading people in circles, than you might as well just be denying the service, either way it becomes unavailable to the one in need.

For the benifit of those seeking help in the future, I hope the organization can use this negative feedback as constructive criticism. I feel for those like myself who will give up over the confusion, it's more than frustrating and it takes more than most can handle tp deal with it when they are already so far down. It really sucks to not know where to turn to when the one you are told to, lets you down.

Its good and bad... Great part is you can have your pet. Bad part some clients there are a bit sketchy. If you get there soon enough you might beable to get a bed is warm months. Once the warming shelter opens back up no problem getting a bed.

I'm homeless and they help everyone they do not judge you by what you have experienced or how you may see yourself they will help in a timely manner and have multiple occupational therapists on hand

I think the work they do is so important. A great many of the people they help have mental health illnesses, so their job is crucial for this underserved population of sick people. I have a family member with schizophrenia who prefers a life on the streets and who wants to stay at the mission with others like himself. I think he understands that most people tend to blame the mentally ill for their illness despite studies that show these biological conditions are no more the fault of those who are sick than if they had cancer.

There mean won't let your pet's stay with you they take all your food and lots of bugs and mold. Nevere get any help even when you wait and wait tried for three months they help there favorites.

They helped me when I needed help to have a roof over my head and food in my tummy.

Great opportunity for those who need a place off the street; full service -> shower, laundry, breakfast, dinner, access to day-layout and a Way to an Organized life. Get back Up;-)

Very Helpful for those in need of Warm Shelter, Food, Water, Clothing, Daily Necessities and with Navigating through and Out of Homelessness...
Staff here are Very Courteous and Expect the Same from Patrons...

You dont really want stay here for very long.i had to use them cause of my T1d.

Always helpful, most of the staff smiles at you and the kids. Some if them are always crabby. But I always get the help needed from them.

Serving the community and providing a place for the homeless to sleep, a meal and in the morning, meal at night, even social services, veterans services, clothing, mental health services, counselors, showers, access to many resources within the community. The ONLY place to get five stars ever from us at EDGE. We did a story on the issue of homelessness and veterans and this facility rose high above the rest!

Welcoming environment. They are patient with people having a hard time. My fionce and I are both greatful for the year round shelter. Although I'm anxious from the hustle I'd happily still come back until we get back on our feet. As its a mixing place of faiths too i didn't feel uncomforterble with us not being religious and being there. New people be ready to have things randomly searched as it is a drug/ weapon free space.

This is the highest impact, local community focused ministry I've ever worked with. I've personally witnessed their work with the homeless in Colorado Springs, the programs and support they provide, to give a hand up and help people get back on their feet. I strongly recommend partnering with them both financially and as a volunteer.

It is a warm and secure place to stay when you don't have the resources to be elsewhere. Waiting in lines out in the freezing cold though is difficult for many, especially for those who are older or have medical issues. It is best too if you can" stay to yourself" as much as possible. Most of the time you will have fewer issues with some others around you.

I worked there, but now they are only homeless and acting like I'm not worth my time!!

Always helpful i get my mail there and its a safe place.

Love that they give a place for those with nowhere to call home.

Over burdened, understaffed, and they manage to serve many people with a decent level of dignity.

They do very little to help people with physical disabilities but they go out of their to help convicts they play favorites if you are not under favorite list the very few belongings you have get thrown away

People are very caring and helpful. There are a lot of services to help get you back on your feet.

One of the worst places to go if you are homeless. They keep you outside most of the day even in weather 30 and below. They do not give out blankets or coats either. The food is almost inedible. They do not offer much in the way of referrals to get housing either. I am someone who is currently living there so yes I do know

A free meal is always a good thing and these people actualy care they deserve all the praise you can give!!!

It's okay there bed there first come it coo for the nite if u dont any were to go for the night together out the cold I thanc them for doing what they do for the homeless

This place helps out so many people that are in need! It's truly a amazing place ! Services include but not limited to shelter, food ,clothing, rehabilitation issues, faith based counseling, employment and education. The list goes on and on ! Definitely the best non-profit in the Springs !

It's Cold out!!! Last night was -17 The Springs Mission kept me Warm!!! Thank You!!!

Extremely grateful for the kindness and care this organization gives to the Colorado Springs community.

Top notch nonprofit. You can tell volunteers are appreciated. After parking, there's a big sign that says We Love Volunteers. Well volunteers love Springs Rescue Mission. It's a great way to spend some extra time and help out struggling neighbors. Everyone's so appreciative of the kindness and encouraging words. If you haven't yet, you should visit and see about volunteering.

(I'm currently employed at Springs Rescue Mission)

Place to sleep, eat and charge your devices... Plus help you get benefits.

Better run than Denver. Only 30 minutes to get a bed. No FOOD served or allowed in dorm.

Offers food and chlothing I think they have a residents program for men.The people
That eat and reside are homeless .Trying to survive.

Good place for homeless people. They serve breakfast and dinner daily n offer a place to sleep. For both men and women.

I went to the C.A. speaker meeting tonight and Wow! After hearing this woman speak! Wow! How could anyone not want to get sober! She totally took me back to how bad it was in my addiction! I loved her testimony! Very touching and effective! Thank you Rhonda!

Compassion, Dignity, honor, Christ-like is how SRM treats people.
