Our sixty-bed emergency shelter is open 24/7 to the homeless. We provide up to six months of shelter, essential services, and supportive services to homeless men with the goal of ending chronic homelessness.
Transitional housing is provided to resident staff members who move from the homeless shelter and continue to work towards achieving the goals of residential stability, increased income and/or skills, and self-determination.
Community services are provided to the general public through our Day Center Program, which provide direct and indirect services to individuals and families in need for the purpose of homeless prevention. These services include clothing, food, meals, referrals, etc.
Each store is located in a "persistent poverty" counties providing clothing, furniture, appliances and more to locals at the lowest prices possible with the purpose of allowing households' income to go farther toward housing, revenue and food.
Mark Stone - Mission Director
Brother Charlie's Rescue Center, Inc. was established in 1979 and named after the late Charles "Charlie" Sheehan. Charlie was a decorated Purple Heart WWII Veteran who following the war, became known as the "town drunk". Later, God saved Charlie and he began to reach out in God's love to the poor and homeless in the area. Upon his death, he left a $10,000 insurance policy to fund Brother Charlie's Rescue Center, Inc. (BRBC).
BRBC is a Christian non-profit 501(c)(3) ministry and has worked for over forty years to prevent and end homelessness by providing help to those who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless.
BRBC provides five programs designed to prevent or end homelessness in South Georgia: (1) homeless shelter, (2) transitional housing, (3) supportive services, (4) day center, and (5) thrift stores. Our program are carefully designed through tried and tested experience to bring positive change and results.
