Record Numbers in 2009
Each day a resident at
the Frederick Rescue Mission records the amount of
people served for each meal: breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. In 2009, a total of 90,168 meals were
served—a 32% increase over 2008. In addition, 1,574 food boxes were distributed to over 3,000 adults and over 2,400 children. And over $47,000 worth of clothing and furniture vouchers were given out for free—a 56% increase over 2008. In light of these numbers, 2009 can only be considered a grand testimony to the amazing ways God provides to His children when we ask. You as a community have stood behind your homeless and needy neighbors, and through your support have allowed the Mission to daily provide each and every man, woman, and child with his or her basic needs.
Thank you
for being a community that cares, that gives, and
that perseveres in
One Divine Vision
The Frederick Rescue Mission seeks to rescue lives from poverty,
homelessness and chemical dependency. We exist to meet the
needs of hurting and broken people while inviting them into the
abundant life Christ offers to all. Every man that enters
with a heart surrendered to God and a cooperative attitude
should never have to see a prison, jail, homeless shelter, rehab
center or rescue mission again. He should never have to
sleep under a bridge, in an abandoned house or out in the woods
again. A changed life will call on Jesus instead of
alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and any other kind of drug. The
goal here is to see lives changed for eternity, now and forever. |
one of the hardest years in the United States
economy. May 2010 continue to bless you as you bless
those we serve!
