Duluth Harbor Rescue Mission Inc. is a faith-based Gospel Mission that serves the neediest in the City of Duluth MN. Along with outreach to the poor and downtrodden we have a huge focus on domestic abuse, addiction, and recovery. We believe the homeless shelter to be a recruiting ground for those seeking life change.
- We believe in one God, existing as three persons-The Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
1 John 5:7, Genesis 1:26-27, Hebrews 1:8, Psalm 110:1 - We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and was born of a virgin and is God in human flesh.
Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:31-35, John 1:1, 14 - We believe the Holy Scriptures are inspired by God and through the power of His Holy Spirit, the Scriptures are inerrant. We believe they are the final authority in faith and life.
2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:21 - We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ.
Titus 2:15-17, Matthew 24:27, 44, Hebrews 9:28, Revelation 22:12 - We believe in the power of God’s Holy Spirit to transform lives.
Romans 8:13-14, Romans 12:1-2, John 6:13-15
The vision for Duluth Harbor Rescue Mission is multi purpose. We are a Gospel Rescue Mission. The difference is, a rescue mission focuses on long term care that has a positive effect on the relapse rate.
We pray to purchase or build a multi-unit facility serving the homeless and addicted with overnight accommodations 365 days a year. The vision is clear that the facility should exist on the West side in the city due to the fact that there are no other overnight accommodations for the homeless in that area. Duluth is a city with a population of 80,000 plus that has effective shelters and soup kitchens, yet mostly located in the downtown area.
As friends arrive at Duluth Harbor Rescue Mission they will be managed case by case with their needs evaluated by a staff member to ensure that they will receive the proper care they need in that moment. Each individual will be given information on the Hot Meal Program, overnight accommodations and rules pertaining to staying with us. If a soul decides to stay for the night they will be provided with a shower, night clothes, a bed and a hygiene kit. Our staff member will also discuss the numerous programs offered through Duluth Harbor Rescue Mission that are designed to give direction and hope.
We believe in the healing power of Jesus Christ and that His promises from the Holy Scriptures are meant for all. Duluth Harbor Rescue Mission (DHRM) is staffed with individuals whose lives have been changed through the power of God's own Holy Spirit. We want to share all God can do!
Duluth Harbor Rescue Mission has been providing support to men and women experiencing homelessness, addiction, and crisis since 2016

WE SUPPORT RECOVERY FIRST
It is very well-known that most men and women experiencing homelessness today, suffer from substance abuse. Along with substances, mental illness overtakes their minds. It is very difficult to maintain housing while still in active drug use.
HOW WE HELP
It is essential that todays homeless soul seeks the root cause of their homelessness and manages that. We assist men and women in their search for the right treatment facility. We continue communication with them while they are healing. Once they have completed treatment, we can assist with relapse prevention as they enter back into their community and family life.
IMPACT
The homeless soul is more apt to retain their new living space after treatment with proper support and goals in place. Most cannot do it alone; it is imperative that those new in recovery have a strong team in place directly out of treatment.
