If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Absolutely the most uneducated, most unprofessional people I've dealt with trying to run a business. If you donate to this place think again because the people running it are unorganized and are likely taking your money for themselves! I could write a book about their ignorant and unethical practices I've wasted enough time with these people just take my word for it they are a joke!!! Kicking people out saying it's not long term housing when they have no where to go because they lost social security checks sent to their address. Then kick someone out for "fighting" almost exactly 90 days after they said a resident had 90 days to get out. The Mission kicking someone out when he is disabled and it is due to their own negligence or mishandling. Why would you donate to a place that isn't supporting the true meaning of rescue mission? Find a better organization that follows the values of actually helping people! read more

My loved one has missed curfew by a few minutes and got banned for 30 days ,I really do think that this should be changed due to most who stay there have to walk or ride a bike,he had no knowledge of how to live outside or any supplies read more

I didn't go inside either of their buildings, which are near the beautiful historic Topeka train staton, and they are in a location where there were quite a few homeless people, some in tents. There was foot traffic and activity around what I think is their activity hall and donation facility. Both buildings are attractive, well-kept renovations with a New Mexico/adobe look. It appears they are well-situated to serve their clientele in the Topeka area. read more

Topeka Rescue Mission - Topeka's Rescue Mission, across from the Great Overland Station. The environs of the NOTO Arts District are "home" for some homeless folks. - Topeka, Kansas

I encountered a homeless man tonight and brought him to this shelter. The man had nothing but the clothes on his back. I explained this to the people at intake. The man I spoke with was incredibly rude and seemed like he was trying to find a reason to turn him away. Well, he did just that and claimed that since he had only been in the state of Kansas for 15 days, he was a COVID risk. I can't believe a shelter would turn someone away like that. I will definitely not donate ANY money to this shelter and would recommend others to find a better organization. A desperate person with no place to go should not be turned away. This was utterly disgraceful. read more

I observed a homeless female friend that I took to the mission facility on two occasions treated rudely/poorly by both the female & male sides of TRM. I would say like bullying her. Very rude tone of voice! My friend got there one of the nights at 7 30pm and it was 25 degrees outside The rude staff at the women s side said she had to stand outside until 9pm so I hung around at let her set in my vehicle and observed another lady standing outside that looked like she was close to freezing to death. In my view they could have let both the ladies inside but seemed to be set on some form of rules that in my view was neglectful. Tonight. It was 45 degrees and the staff said my friend could not come inside the homeless building unless under 40 degrees. So my homeless friend was expected to stand outside all night. Sorry. That is abuse and on the large sign up the men's facility it states Jesus saves Also. I noticed the facilities seem to be in poor condition. The buildings , more so on the men's side looks run down. Not a good reflection of Topeka. I am truly disappointed & concerned with what I observed with the treatment of my friend and think TRM needs much better staff, leadership and city oversight. read more
