From our PRM family to yours: Happy New Year!

12/12/2025

Recover & Give Back. It’s more than a pillar in the PRM Transformation Model. It’s a way of life.

Did you know that up to 25% of Portland Rescue Mission staff have lived experience with homelessness or addiction?

Many are graduates of our New Life Recovery Program, and a high percentage of PRM alumni are now serving with local nonprofits and community partners, helping others walk the same journey they once walked.

This is the power of transformation.
This is what happens when hope takes root.
Recovery multiplies. Lives ripple. Communities change.
