Darrin Bergeron

Men’s Program Manager

Working at Coachella Valley Rescue Mission isn’t just a job – it's a calling that reminds me every day of the power of hope and second chances.

The most rewarding part of working here is witnessing the ripple effect of our work. When we help one person get back on their feet, we're not just changing their life – we're impacting their family, their future, and our community. That's what makes CVRM more than just a rescue mission; it's a place where hope takes root and new beginnings become possible.

CVRM is truly a blessing to me, it saved my life and I enjoy giving back to the community and sharing my story. I have seen how many of our clients have successfully graduated from our programs and have moved out with a stable job and housing. I look forward to continue assisting our community and helping those in need.``
