Jefferson County Rescue Mission

At Jefferson County Rescue Mission in Arnold, MO, our dedicated mission is to offer vital food assistance, clothing, and shelter to individuals and families in need throughout Jefferson County and parts of St. Louis County. We serve a diverse range of clients including the homeless, unemployed, victims of abuse, children, and the elderly—essentially anyone facing hardship. Understanding that true support goes beyond just meeting basic needs, we strive to provide a safe refuge for those escaping violence and to assist others in overcoming challenges like substance abuse or finding educational and job training opportunities. With the growing demand for our services, we are committed to never turning away those who reach out for help. Our comprehensive social services extend beyond our food pantry and soup kitchen, as we also facilitate connections to medical, housing, and employment resources through referrals. Our seasonal initiatives, such as distributing Christmas/Hanukkah food baskets and providing school supplies, highlight our commitment to compassionate service. We invite those in need to connect with us as we work together to create sustainable solutions for a better tomorrow.
