For our volunteers
In 1996, Gwen Woody began responding to the needs of the homeless men, women, and children in her
community.  Gwen began by helping them find housing, clothing, and food, but quickly realized that the
need was greater than she alone could provide. At that time, she could find no organization that was
addressing the special needs of the homeless in Horry County, South Carolina.
"When God speaks to your heart and shows you something that needs to be done,
then its your responsibility to do it and I do not argue with God, it is a calling."
"People have choices, but when you are chosen, you don't have anywhere else to go.
~  Gwen Woody, Founder & CEO of Coastal Rescue Mission
Coastal Rescue Mission has only touched the “tip of the iceberg” in helping the poor. We know the results
of our hard work by the smiling faces of our needy families. We feel a responsibility to our neighbors so
we are reaching out and putting our arms around the elderly and poor families because we know life is
worth the hardship. We can help carry the load and let our neighbor rest.

Thank you for your interest in CRM.  We are so glad you found our home on the web ans hope you find
this site easy to navigate. We pray that you find the information you need to get help or to help our brothers
and sisters in need.

 A Women's Shelter
 A Thrift Store
Non-profit 501(c)(3) A community charity feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless and helping the broken hearted.
