Mission History: Established in 1956 by Don and
Wilma Chalfant as “The Haven of Rest Rescue
Mission”, the Haven provided meals, shelter and the
gospel message to homeless men. Since that time, the
Haven has grown to offer many innovative programs
that provide services to the ever changing homeless
population who need assistance in learning the
necessary steps that lead individuals to self-sufficiency
and productivity. The Haven provides comprehensive
services to the homeless individual through emergency
shelter, food, transitional housing, substance abuse
treatment and case management.
