We are inviting you to walk with us to provide shelter for men and women in Nashua.
Every day single men and women call the mission looking for a place to sleep. Different backgrounds, different circumstances, with two common threads... No place to lay their head and the despair and frustration that can accompany it. We recognize that homelessness can be more than just the lack of housing - and authentic relationship is vital to recovery and stability.
At the Southern New Hampshire Rescue Mission, we serve as a Triage Unit - Demonstrating the Love of Jesus in Word and Deed. This is accomplished as together we help to identify the roots of an individuals homelessness, help the individual discover solutions, and connect them with the resources available to accomplish their goals. All of this is rooted in a Holistic Approach that desires to meet someones Spiritual, Physical, and Emotional needs
Last year, we provided over 41,000 meals to our community along with over 11,000 nights of shelter to men in need of a place to lay their head. We have been doing this for the past 15 years - with a particular burden to reach out to women who often find themselves even more vulnerable in their attempts to find safe housing.
With a shortage of available bed space for women we desire to demonstrate the Love and Compassion of Christ by providing these life-saving services through a Women's Ministry Center - The SNHRM Hope House for Women.
Join us to make it possible for more men and women to know the Hope of Christ and the Restoration of their lives. Partner with us as together we make a difference in the lives of individuals in Southern New Hampshire.
We will have special prizes for our top fundraiser and our top mile-maker.
To help provide emergency housing for men and women experiencing homelessness in Southern New Hampshire.
Reaching our goal ($30,000) will help us make a down payment on the Hope House for Women so we can provide emergency shelter for women in addition to the men who stay with us nightly.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
