The Rescue Mission would like to thank all who attended and helped make this year’s Oasis Fundraiser a huge success. Over 400 people attended the event, and our generous donors helped us surpass the $100,000 goal!

It was a real blessing to have so many donors and partners present to listen to the heartfelt testimony from Kadasha, a graduate of our Hope for Women program. Updates were given on this past year’s ministry and how so many lives were positively influenced. Last year at the Mission, 430 men and women found permanent housing, 360,174 nutritious meals were served, 125,502 nights of safety and restful sleep were provided, and 84 men and women committed their lives to Christ.

Our vision for the future was shared and included our present construction project which is projected to be finished this coming December. The current project will provide 32 more beds of Respite Care and 40 studio apartments that will be of great benefit to our Transition to Hope program and to people coming from Respite Care.

A major theme shared at the Fundraiser was that of involving help from individuals and churches. The men and women in the Mission’s programs may participate in them for up to one or two years. And then, there is the rest of their lives. Our participants need friends and a church family to support them on their continuing life’s journey. This is the part where the Mission and our participants need your help! We need people who will come alongside them and will invite our participants into their lives and into their churches where they can become part of a church family and community. Support is measured in friendship, and friendship is a key element in long-term stability and a meaningful future. We are grateful to all of you who will consider being a friend to one of our participants.

Once again, thank you so much for your incredible support of God’s work through the Rescue Mission, where lives are being transformed!
