THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE FOREVER MEANS Everyone Forever means water and sanitation that lasts – for every family, clinic, and school. It sounds simple, but it’s actually a big shift in the status quo. In most water and sanitation work, the focus is on short-term wins – building a few wells or toilets without considering how they will keep serving people long into the future. We used to operate that way, until we realized it wasn’t working. When pumps and toilets broke, no one could fix them. This left communities back where they started. So in 2011 we conceptualized the Everyone Forever model. It means what it says – everyone has water that lasts forever.

OUR MISSION No one dreams of being homeless. Unfortunately, due to financial pressures, job loss, mental illness, addictions, and a myriad of other life challenges, this nightmare becomes a reality for many. That’s why Waterfront Rescue Mission was founded — to offer hope, healing, and a brighter future for our community in need. No one plans to become an addict. About 20 million Americans battle a substance use disorder, and Waterfront has been helping men find hope and healing since 1949, now with a more focused and deliberate approach than ever before.
