Really what can I say about Springs Rescue Mission. They call this place a Christian ran organization. Tell you right now a lot of their so-called staff and volunteers. Are not Christians Christians do not despise people disgrace people and talk to you like s***. Grow up volunteers get a real job.

Worst shelter I ever had 2 deal with, they treat you like your not human. I had 2 come here cause hotel fees was destroying me financially, Ive never been in prison but this was the closest to it, there's no assigned bunks they just let dope fiends off the street inside finding work in Colorado Springs is Slow motion so your forced 2 deal with this I talked 2 a Case manager they really don't seem 2 care much the process is slow. Some of the people there are Racist so that makes for a problem I just couldn't deal with it it's depressing adios

I feel sorry for people who donate to this place. At the end of the month I struggle too feed my kids ages 7, 6, 4, and 0. Standing outside today in 13 degree weather with snow falling denied me entering. Just said no room and told me to leave. Now I will have to figure something else out.

This is an absolutely huge mission! They feed hundreds of people daily. I'm not sure of their sleeping capacity, but it's big and I know they wish they had more room because of the phenomenal number of homeless in Colorado Springs. They seem to be able to chew every bit of available resources right down to the bone and then some. I would like to encourage anyone and everyone in the Colorado Springs area to donate to this mission. I recently ordered several sets of sweats )shirts and pants). When they arrived I found that they didn't fit as described. They were all a bit small. They are very nice sweats, so I decided that instead of sending them back, I'd give them to the mission. I was so proud of myself giving 12 brand new sets of sweats to cold people this winter. After going down to the mission however, my gift seemed so tiny compared to the phenomenal need they have for clothing, toiletries, food, and yes, money. Please folks! Dip into your pockets and dressers and closets and try to find something in there to help this wonderful and worthy organization.

Rude staffing. Ni help more of a step down from homeless. Can't believe the government funds establishments like this. Needs to be shut down or ran by proper buissness savey canidates.

My only interaction with them was the opposite of helpful. I called before going, to make sire there were no issues. Then I get there and am told the "store" had been closed all day. Thanks for wasting my gas.

Not very impressed with the donation process here....

Not very impressed with the donation process here. First - where you need to drop things off is not marked, either with a sign or address. I drove around for 10 minutes before finally giving up and going in the main building which has a sign stating donations are not accepted at the location. The gentleman inside was kind enough to point me to the building in back where they accept donations.

At that building there were two men standing guard for all intents and purposes. I asked if this is where they accept drop offs, one responded we take donations . Ok, so I decide to not argue the semantics. One guy says nothing, takes the two bags I have (I explain that they are toiletries) and walks away. The other starts writing on a clip board, asks if I need a receipt (I didn t) and walks away.

I wasn t looking for much, maybe just some pleasantries or a thank you, considering I m taking the time out of my day to drive across town to donate to those in need. They acted like they were doing me a favor, which is really a shame. Next month I ll look into another place to donate.

Friend lives here, Friend always talks about this place in such wonderful taste. Upon dropping my friend off here the people I talked to where nice, she showed me around before I left My friend had a vegetable garden, she had mail service, they has a mission kitchen, and dorm. Not to mention they have a dental bus come into the Mission every once in a while :) My friend informed to me that after I left she was promoted to a job in the Mission Laundry :)

45 million dollar project for the homeless. Great facility with WiFi, showers, meals twice a day, but a place where one needs to watch one's back and one's possessions. High crime and drug abuse rates. Any number of homeless have been murdered along the river walk

Slow

The staff are wonderful, and they provide a lot of needed service like; showers, washing machines and dryers, wifi, receptacles for charging, access to case works, Church services, and NA, AA, CA meetings. They have in place programs to take a person off the streets to working and being self-sufficient. Springs Rescue Mission truly cares about the plight of the homeless. But there are some major deficiencies. The non-program men's shelter has NO running water to wash ones hands, porta potties are filled with feces passed design and illegal specifications (see pictures), and NO hand sanitizer anywhere. Almost everyone in the shelter, including this journalist, is sick.

You have to put your animals in a kennel. Only the 'healthy emgagement' get fed lunch, leaving all of the disabled people (physically and/Or mentally) to fend for themselves. If you have a prescription to marijuana they will ban you from their services while simultaneously allowing people in with opioid pain killers, xanax/klonopin/valium, and barbiturates walk right through their doors. They claim to be a Christian organization but have no problem letting people go hungry or without a shower if you so much as make a mistake. If you get into an altercation you will be banned (even if you don't retaliate). I've never been so disgusted by a group of people in my life. They claim to be religious but turn down the homeless for next to nothing

There's a big problem with theft. It seems that most homeless people have no honor and will prey on other homeless people instead of being self-reliant and obtaining their wants/needs through proper channels. Some staff members enable this behavior by claiming they can do nothing about it.

David is always helpful and friendly. It's hard to find staff at homeless shelters that treat their patrons with respect or kindness. He is never impatient or rude to anyone even when some transients become unruly. Bit of a chaotic place during peak hours but a lot of good resources

I've been here for a month and they dispose of my belongings. How can a homeless person carry all their belongings, while looking for a job and an apt.? Well RMH expects you to take ur stuff or they will throw it in the garbage with no shame. And wants you to sleep on a mattress without sheets or blanket. The rules make it really hard for you to progress out of the shelter. Makes no sense. Need new staff or protocol.

Shitty
