LAS VEGAS – April 16, 2025 – In a significant response to the growing homelessness crisis, the Las Vegas Rescue Mission is reigniting its $85 million capital campaign with the support of Strategic3C, a prominent capital campaign firm known for its community-driven initiatives.
This renewed effort aims to expand the Rescue Mission’s comprehensive services.
The Las Vegas Rescue Mission has been a pillar of support in Southern Nevada for over 50 years, providing more than just shelter.
It offers structured, extended-stay housing services, employment readiness programs, addiction recovery support, medical aid, and legal assistance to help individuals rebuild their lives.
Additionally, the Mission has instituted an ‘intact families program’ to ensure that unhoused families remain together, regardless of how they identify as families.
However, as the demand for these essential services continues to rise, the current capacity of the Rescue Mission is being stretched to its limits.
“For the first time in our 50-year history, we are turning to the State for partnership and assistance,” said Heather Engle, CEO of the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.
“The demand for our services has never been higher, and without immediate expansion, more individuals and families will be left without shelter, meals, and recovery programs.
This campaign is about building a future where homelessness in Las Vegas is tackled head-on with more services and shelter available to those in crisis.”
Strategic3C is recognized for its history of success in building movements and mobilizing donors, ensuring that local families, corporate partners, and philanthropists have meaningful opportunities to contribute.
From small monthly donations to major corporate sponsorships, every dollar raised will directly benefit programs aimed at helping individuals rebuild their lives.
“This isn’t just about raising money—it’s about restoring hope,” said Donn Jersey, Principal of Strategic3C.
“We are in the midst of the worst homelessness crisis in the history of our state and our country.
At the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, we’re doing far more than providing meals and beds.
We offer free on-demand inpatient substance abuse treatment, medical care, housing assistance, job search support, and life skills training.
We are not just an evening community meal or a temporary shelter—we are a place where lives are rebuilt.
This campaign is about dignity, second chances, and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and given the opportunity to heal.
With the heart of this community behind us, we won’t just raise funds—we’ll create lasting, transformational change.”
