Many people do not realize that homelessness impacts, not only men, but women, women with children and entire families. In response to the growth of this segment of the homeless population, in 1988 the Rescue Mission opened a family service unit.This week in Family Services, we have sheltered 27 children, 26 women, and 2 married couples. Imagine if you can, 27 children in a building with no playground, no place to enjoy outdoor activities now that school is out for the summer.
Our house is full with people, with noise, with laughter, and with the love of Christ. Please pray for us during this summer. We are in need of a new facility to more adequately meet the needs of the growing homeless population - especially woman and children. Contact the Mission to learn how you can help.
