A Non-Profit 501c3 Information and Resource Organization
WHO WE ARE
Neighborhood Rescue was organized in 1994 as a response to the growing need for emergency assistance services from the state, county, and other major resources at that time. Our organization responded to community needs with a plan for distributing available resources.
By March of 2014, Neighborhood Rescue had a resource network of relief centers throughout the southeastern region. They believed that centralizing resources and including the business community could result in more resources with better accessibility for local people who needed help. The working model was Adopt A Community One Block at a Time, a coalition of churches and non-profit organizations assisting in the area.
Today, Neighborhood Rescue is connected with at least one resource center in each major city in the US coordinating with churches, businesses, and individuals donating food, clothing, monetary donations, and even professional services to residents, as well as homeless and transient families in need. Programs have grown to include low-cost medical services, transitional housing, and general emergency assistance (food, clothes, furniture, financial assistance, information, and referrals).
