Hope Rescue Mission

In loving memory of Mel...

Melvin was a baker and a cook for 30 years. He lived through a horrible season in his life that left him in a place to choose homelessness. Melvin, an amazing man who’s smile and joy was always contagious to all those he met along the way. He sought help through Hope Rescue Mission in his time of need.

Homeless people weren’t always homeless — the majority of us are just a paycheck or two away from being in Mel’s shoes.



Many homeless people want to get back on their feet.

The rivers and mountains aren’t the only reason we live here. Montana has heart. People like Mel have stories — and often it is not too difficult to see ourselves in pieces of those stories.
