Feeding the Hungry
The food services at the Mission are quite unique in that the food is delicious and the entire public is welcome to join us for a meal, not just those staying in our living quarters.
Our cooks pride themselves on serving a square, hot meal that includes salad, meat and two veggies, as well as dessert, and in the summertime, you may find us outside having a cookout. This may be the only real meal some people get in a day, so we want people to walk away from us satisfied, nourished, and ready to deal with the challenges of their day.

Clothing Closet
The Hendersonville Rescue Mission Clothing Closet is located in our main building next to the dining hall. The closet is stocked with clothing and hygiene items which are generously donated by members of the community. Very often, guests come to us with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. It is essential that we have clothing available in all types and sizes so we may accommodate their needs when they arrive.
This special ministry is also available to serve the public. Anyone in the community in need of clothing is welcome to visit and look for items that will be a good fit.
Hours:
The HRM Clothing Closet is open during our lunch service on Mondays and Fridays beginning at 12:15pm.
Emergency Shelter
Hendersonville Rescue Mission offers “Code Grace”, emergency cold night shelter for people in Henderson, Polk, and Transylvania Counties.
Code Grace is offered on nights when temperature is expected to drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or when there is an extreme weather event, such as Hurricane Helene. Code Grace guests are offered a warm safe place to sleep and are not required to participate in any programs or stay a designated length of time. All safety procedures remain in effect for the health and wellbeing of our guests.
Please call our office at (828) 697-1354 with any questions regarding checking into our shelter.
