Goodstein Foundation Grant Gives Wyoming Rescue Mission’s Sober Living House a Much-Needed Upgrade
The Wyoming Rescue Mission

The Wyoming Rescue Mission just got a big boost to help keep its Men’s Sober Living House in Casper safe and stable. Thanks to a $75,000 grant from the Goodstein Foundation, the home on Kimball Street is set for major repairs and renovations.

The house is where graduates of the Mission’s year-long Discipleship Recovery Program live as they transition back into independent life — holding jobs, paying bills, and staying committed to long-term sobriety.

“This place matters,” said Goodstein Foundation president Paul Homar. “It tugs at our heartstrings to see so many people in need, but it’s encouraging to know they have somewhere to turn.”

The grant will cover a full roof replacement, interior repairs from water damage, backyard leveling and sod, new doors, and upgraded security cameras.

Mission executive director Brad Hopkins said the upgrades are about more than just maintenance.

“We’re so appreciative of the Goodstein Foundation and the legacy of Mr. Fred Goodstein. Their generosity helps us create a safe and stable environment for continual life transformation,” he said.

Fred Goodstein’s foundation has been investing in Casper’s community for years, and this latest gift shows that commitment is still making a difference.
