Empowering Families. Protecting Mississippi’s Children
At Rescue 100, we believe every child deserves a safe, loving environment. Our mission is to fiercely advocate for vulnerable children across Mississippi while equipping the families and professionals who care for them.
Foster-care advocacy and awareness
Helping communities understand the needs of children in foster care and encouraging people to become involved. Training parents and volunteers in trauma-informed caregiving.
Church and community partnerships
Rescue 100 grew from a faith-based effort and has historically worked through churches and community organizations to mobilize volunteers, resources, and foster families.
Faith-Based Community Mobilization
Assisting families of children at risk of entering the foster care system.
Community and Resource Activation
Mobilizing local churches and partners to provide essential items and resources.
Personal Support and Volunteer Training
Recruiting, training, and supporting foster parents with trauma-informed education.
Practical support for children
The broader Rescue 100 effort has included providing essential items foster children need, including Christmas support, duffel bags, clothing, baby supplies, beds, backpacks, and other necessities. It also included designing and
decorating the Harrison County Visitation Center as well as the Harrison County Youth Court, co hosting Communities of Hope recruitment efforts with MDCPS, co hosting TBRI trainings with CASA, co hosting adoption celebrations and foster family events with youth court and MDCPS, teaching trauma-informed practices to Friends of Court volunteers, and providing trauma-informed interactive training and resources to caregivers through Connections, a monthly support group for foster, adoptive, and kinship caregivers.
