I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. Matthew 25:35

About Us
-
How It All Started
Fountain of Life Rescue Shelter was founded by Jimmy Moore to provide temporary shelter to those without a safe place to rest for the night. Jimmy invited like-minded individuals to join him in making his vision a reality and the shelter officially opened in 2019.

Where We Are Now
The shelter has expanded to operations four nights a week and operates under a 501(c)3 status and is led by a board of directors from our local area. We have a shelter supervisor and six advocates on staff to provide shelter services Thursday through Sunday nights.

Our Vision For The Future
We work diligently to raise awareness of the needs of those homeless within our community and continue to strive for funding that will allow us to open every night of the week.
