History
Founded in 1952, the Mission was known as Harbor of Hope Rescue Mission when it served as a refuge for transient men. Eventually, programs were expanded to include women and children. In 1957, it was named Light of Life Rescue Mission; in 1979, the Mission purchased buildings on the North Side where the bulk of its programming is conducted. Light of Life now owns and utilizes three North Side buildings.
