Today, we sit down with Jim Palmer, President of Orange County Rescue Mission. Jim's heart was captured at the age of 14 years old when a friend of his family’s became homeless. Jim worked tirelessly to find help for this homeless, single mother and her 7-year-old son. That motivation continues to live on today as Jim lives his calling to minister to the Least, the Last, and the Lost with Christ’s example of love and dignity. He first came to Orange County Rescue Mission, more than 28 years ago, as a volunteer painter. He quickly, thereafter, joined the staff as President of the Rescue Mission.

The testimonies of those we serve show that a relationship with our loving God is the strong foundation that we all need to change and experience a new life. Thanks to your support, last year brought exciting new opportunities. We have a strategic partnership with the City of Tustin Police Department to conduct monthly outreaches that have led to more people moving from the streets and into transitional housing and shelter. We launched Strong Beginnings to provide services to human trafficking victims And we began renovations on a home that will serve as the Laurel House Boys Home, a program for homeless and at-risk teen boys. Thank you for taking the time to become informed about homelessness. The politicizing of the issue is causing more confusion and dehumanizes people into an insurmountable problem.
