See schedule o - shelter servicesshelter services - miracle hill ministries operates four rescue missions/shelters in upstate South Carolina: greenville rescue mission for adult men; spartanburg rescue mission for men, women, and mothers with young children; cherokee county rescue mission for men, women, and mothers with young children, and shepherd's gate shelter for women and mothers with young children. We provide housing, food, clothing, christ-centered counseling and discipleship, case management, on-site health care, connections to community resources, accountability, and most of all, unconditional love. This holistic approach helps individuals and families regain hope and the tools they need to successfully exit homelessness. Guests enrolled in the new life program live at our shelters for at least 90 days and often six months or longer to establish employment, save money, develop life skills, improve physical/mental health, secure transportation and prepare for a successful exit into permanent housing. Two of our shelters also operate South Carolina's only respite centers where homeless individuals discharged from the hospital can recover. Last year our rescue missions cared for 2,245 individuals, served 240,790 meals, and provided 126,301 nights of safe shelter.=== greenville rescue missiongreenville rescue mission is an emergency shelter for men that provides refuge from the dangers of living on the streets.
