LVRM was founded in 1970 by a pastor and six businessmen who had a calling to help those who were homeless and hungry. Together, they secured a tiny storefront at 414 West Bonanza Road. By Gods grace, they provided sandwiches and drinks, along with mats and blankets for men to eat and sleep away from the elements.

We are more than just a shelter; we stand as a beacon of hope. We continue to adapt to meet the needs of men, women, and children in an ever-changing society. Through effective, innovative Christian recovery programs, the Mission provides a path for those who want to escape the despair of the streets.
