You read the stories: about the amazing changes in people’s lives, the new and exciting experiences for children who have had so little and the education, self-sufficiency and success achieved by formerly homeless men and women…all because of the help from our generous community.

So I want to take a brief moment to let you know about a new donation match, because you know the impact of your giving.

During the month of May, because of a $50,000 matching gift in effect, your gift will be DOUBLED to help feed and care for TWICE as many people so they can start on the road to new life.

Your generous gift will provide much-needed help today . . .

For the mom fleeing from abuse, desperate to get herself and her children to safety. For the despairing parents, working two or even three jobs, but still unable to provide for their basic needs. For the homeless veteran, looking for work and a chance to start over again.

Your gift to the Rescue Mission is so much more than dollars and cents. It translates into real help and hope for hurting people to leave the streets, beat addiction, mend broken relationships, learn a job skill and eventually find a new place to call home. It often takes just a single meal to rekindle hope in someone whose life has been a world of hurt, sorrow or pain. And if you give before May 31st, you can help twice as many hurting people and provide twice as many meals.

Will you give someone that chance to find hope and help today?

Giving online is easy, safe, and quick. Your donation will make an immediate impact to provide meals, shelter and services for a homeless family in desperate need of a hand up to self-sufficiency.
