Our partners at Tacoma Rescue Mission are all about courageous love in action. From serving nearly 1,000 meals daily to providing emergency shelter, addiction recovery services, and housing programs, the Mission helps people across Pierce County find safety, stability, and hope.

As community needs continued to grow, Tacoma Rescue Mission embarked on a major expansion project to more than double the capacity of its shelter. While community fundraising made the project possible, the organization needed flexible financing to move construction forward and bring its vision to life.

In this Partner Spotlight, Tacoma Rescue Mission Executive Director Duke Paulson shares how a partnership with One Pierce, Elevate Health's social impact fund, helped close that gap with a low-interest bridge loan. The result is a stronger facility, expanded capacity, and the ability to serve significantly more people experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, and addiction.

We're proud to partner with organizations like Tacoma Rescue Mission that are creating lasting impact in Pierce County and helping more people access the support they need to thrive.
