New Life Program

Take the First Step to Build a New Life

Most programs give you 30, 60, maybe 90 days. We give you time. The New Life Program is a long-term residential program. We give you time to recover from whatever brought you here — job loss, addiction, eviction, a situation you couldn't stay in. You call. We work through it together.

What's New Life All About?

Equipping You to Move Forward

At The Path Rescue Mission, we provide a safe, supportive, and structured environment where individuals and families can begin to heal, build stability, and create a new direction for their lives.

Through compassionate guidance, Christ-based mentoring, work opportunities, and accountability, you develop the life and work skills you need to overcome addiction, rebuild healthy relationships, and move toward meaningful employment.

Each person receives personalized guidance and ongoing support from a case manager. While the program begins with a one-year commitment, you may have the opportunity to stay longer as you work toward financial stability, secure housing, and a healthy support system for the future.

Our goal is to help each individual and family move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and hope—prepared to build a healthy, independent life in the community.

Learn How to Get Started

  • Safe Shelter, Food, Clothing & Recovery

    Safe shelter, nourishing meals, clothing, personal care essentials, and caring support for you and your family as you build a new life.

  • Life Skills & Resource Support

    Case management covering life skills, job readiness, family stability, and community resources.

  • Work Therapy Opportunities

    Hands-on work opportunities at our farm and hydroponics, thrift store, cafeteria kitchen, laundry, groundskeeping, and more. In addition to helping you through recovery, each experience helps build confidence, teamwork, consistency, and practical skills for the workplace.

What You’ll Gain From Our Program

Recovery looks different for everyone. For some, it's sobriety. For others, it's steady income and being able to care for your family. Case management is about understanding where you are, figuring out what you need, and working together on a plan to help you move toward a more stable future.

Life Skill Development

Learn to budget, manage a household, and handle the practical side of independent living. We work with you on the skills that make stability last after you leave.

Employment Readiness

"Work  therapy" and day labor opportunities that build confidence, practical skills, teamwork, and consistency—preparing you for a full-time job, a steady paycheck, and greater financial stability.

Case Management

A case manager works with you and your family to address the relationships and deeper wounds that often sit underneath the crisis that brought you here.

Building Your Plan for a Stable Fresh Start

We help you plan your next steps—from exploring your options and paying down debt to rebuilding relationships, obtaining reliable transportation, and saving for a secure fresh start.

"Hire Out" Program

After several months in the program, you may be eligible for our "Hire Out" program, giving you opportunities to earn income, pay down debt, and start saving through day labor jobs for community residents.

Spiritual Growth

At The Path, Christ is at the center of what we do. Through biblical teaching, compassionate care, and practical guidance, we invite you to grow in a personal relationship with Christ and discover hope for a new life grounded in faith and purpose.

"Work Therapy" Puts You on the Path to Employment

Participation with "work therapy" is not optional. Everyone is assigned to chores and work assignments. Showing up, doing something useful, contributing to something bigger than yourself — that's how people start to recover and rebuild their life.

Farm & Co-Op

Hard work, fresh air, growing the food you eat every day.

Thrift Store

Sorting, cleaning, taking care of gently-used items for others.

Laundry

Organizing and providing timely laundry service for adults and children in the program.

Kitchen Work

Kitchen support builds discipline, consistency, and cooking skills that help you get food service jobs in the community.

  • As a rescue mission, The Path provides refuge, critical care and specialized, holistic guidance until progress is made towards healing and recovery.

  • Ultimately, over time, the goal of this program is for that person to grow with familiarity to steps and routine, so that when they do leave, they can continue on their own.

  • The most important portion of the “AA” class is seeing people who were in really hard situations, out on the streets and not doing well, be able to turn around, rise to the top and get back out there, so they can become sober and with hopes stay sober when they leave the class/program.

  • Sometimes Bible study is something that can intimidate people but my goal is that somebody should never be afraid to be a part of Bible Study. The women that come to Bible Study are really good women and always want to be positive and truly make a difference.

  • The main goals of my class are to move men closer to God and build their relationship with Him. Some of these men have dealt with addiction and they continue to work on future planning. The focus is on what is important when you leave. The two most important components are going to church and being in a men’s group as it is stressed “You can’t do this on your own.”

  • I appreciate you helping me receive a second chance in life, being somewhere where I can develop in a well-rounded way so I can become the best version of myself.
