Keeping Steelbridge Moving

Right now, several Steelbridge vehicles are in urgent need of repair — including one requiring a major transmission replacement.

These vehicles are not optional. They are used every single day to transport residents to medical appointments, court obligations, church services, and to pick up food donations that help feed our residents and support partner organizations across the community.

Our Immediate Goal: $7,000

As our ministry continues to grow, our vehicles are aging, high-mileage, and heavily relied upon. When multiple vehicles begin to fail at the same time, the ripple effect is felt everywhere.

Without reliable transportation:

Critical medical appointments are delayed
Court obligations are put at risk
Church participation becomes difficult
Food donations cannot be picked up or distributed
Daily operations are strained

Transportation may not be the most visible part of ministry — but it is foundational to recovery, stability, and community impact.

Every gift — at any level — moves us closer to our $7,000 goal and helps ensure appointments are kept, food is delivered, church attendance continues, and recovery stays on track.

Hope begins with a meal…& can end with a solution

Formerly known as the Albuquerque Rescue Mission, Steelbridge traces its roots back to 1954 when it was founded as the Albuquerque Gospel Mission. Inspired by their experiences at the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago, Arthur Fleischer and his wife came to Albuquerque with a vision of compassion. Their original site on First Street provided shelter, food, clothing, and ministry to those in need.

Steelbridge offers a program that incorporates counseling, behavioral health services, spiritual guidance, life skills, job skills, financial planning, and other solutions to help individuals going through addiction, homelessness, trauma, human trafficking, and youths aging out of foster care.
