Dirty, over crowded. You can only take a shower if you schedule it and if you come there with no blankets expect to sleep on a nasty old plastic covered foam mattress without anything to put under you or cover up with. Also they have 4 port-o-potties that is the only place to go to the bathroom and ALL of them are over flowed never emptied and some people have resorted to pooping in the urinals. On top of all of that they allow druggies, drunks and registered sex offenders stay there. There's always people trying to sell drugs around there and there's people with all their stuff just sleeping in the middle of the parking lot.

Not a place for real people of God these people have been warned many times and God is going to then judge tis placw and the wocked in it. The righteous have not a thing to worry about. Im shaking the dust. This is a place where the righteous are persecuted and mistreated.

I was not allowed by Dorothy to shower for 2-3 days because I chose to go to church during shower time and couldn't arrive earlier before church to shower...for 2 days, 3 days.

I was CONTINUALLY harrassed by MULTIPLE staff, security and residents being asked if I put GOSPEL TRACTS on peoples' beds (at a Christian Mission) becuase they were going to "find out who did this and they will be kicked out". These people are WICKED AND THEIR JUDGEMENT IS JUST.

Staff doesn't do there jobs. When people go in, there are people who cut in front of others and security doesn't do anything to stop it. Don't deal with problems that occur and restrict both people involved. Food they serve is inedable. Rules in place are inforced only when they feel like it.

They can help you with any situation you're in & they won't deny anyone services here. The lady with the glasses had excellent customer service skills & was very helpful & knowledgeable at her job. That's why I give Springs Rescue Mission a 5-star rating.

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a group volunteer project at this community center. The associates took the time to give us a tour and explain how their various programs work. This shelter has low barrier options and even accepts well behaved pets! They are invested in assisting by offering a hand up, not a hand out. I highly recommend giving your time to them if you are looking for a volunteer opportunity.

Yay!

The worst place possible to try and get help when you're homeless with children. Sat there all day waiting on a "navigator". Only to have them tell me I have to come back in an hour after their lunch. The soup kitchen here gives out a small bowl for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that would only fill up a cat...

It's my personal preference not to be around crowds of people and it's pretty crowded here.
But that has nothing to do with the services they provide which are extensive.
So don't take my rating as your own because you'd be missing out on some good help.

Staff is good hearted people who care about individuals who are actually trying to get them selves to a better place in their lives. The only bad part is the ungrateful people who make a choice to stay and not do nothing getting handouts from the shelter and think someone owes them something, they are the reason people don look twice at us who are actually trying to get out of there and be successful.

Don't go here if you wish not to be discriminated against or bashed, they allow a man(transgender) to sleep in a dorm full of women,but allow for two gay men to be bashed by staff and other homeless people and tell them that they need to learn to just ignore it and if they don't take family counseling they would not be allowed to stay, they ended up kicking the couple out, the shelter does not issue blankets, the staff spend more time looking for reasons to kick the homeless out then they do trying to help them, one coordinator told a guy that because he was drunk he was helping him out by kicking him out in 16 degree weather...
But this is a christian organization???

This place is amazing for those in need. The people who assist you there are friendly and compassionate, always willing to help with love. You can get pantries, clothing, and furniture. Thanks for volunteering to help others . God bless you all !

This is a low barrier homeless shelter which means they don't test you for drugs and/or alcohol to stay there however; they don't tolerate disruptive behavior regardless of whether you're intoxicated or not. They also offer a slew of services on site (i.e. showers, laundry, haircuts, Colorado DHS, Peak Vista Mobile medical care, parole, Homes for Vets, Pikes Peak Library System and housing location/assistance).

They serve two free meals a day here: breakfast from 6am to 7am and supper from 4pm to 5pm (lunch can be had @ Catholic Charities Marian House from 10:45am to 1pm in downtown Colorado Springs).

Both the men's and women's shelters are clean, safe and mostly secure facilities to sleep in and store your belongings in during the day. I say mostly secure because there is theft of phones and other small items when left unattended. Otherwise its an excellent place to be if you're homeless.

Also, there is no time limit for staying here. I know people that have been here for years.

Homeless shelter I went to pick up a friend while waiting for him I was hit on by four guys begging for cigs. Four others for money and three asking for drugs, two wanting to sell me drugs. Security at this place is a joke for sure. Lol
