History
The Galesburg Rescue Mission and Women’s Shelter exists to help meet the need of others.
We are a community Social Service Agency offering hope for the homeless, hungry, poor, needy, addicted, victims of domestic violence, ex-prisoners, the lost and lonely.
We do not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, handicap, race, color, religion, nationality or
ethnic origin.
We are a locally based ministry supported by the concerned people and groups.
We are governed by a Board of Directors which
consists of 11 volunteers.
We have 20 employees of both
full time and part time workers.
We have numerous volunteers that assist in many areas of the operation of the Mission.
We are a para-Church organization,
serving with and through local Churches.
We are a respected Knox County institution founded in 1942 by Rev. and Mrs. Sylvester Sanford on the public square in Galesburg. In 1966 we moved to 266 East South Street. In 1976 we relocated to 1021 South Seminary Street. In 1983 we purchased the old Douglas school building and that is where we were until October 2023. There have been many changes and
additions to this building.
In October of 2023 we moved the Nielson school building
547 North Farnham Street.
