Welcome to the Frederick Rescue Mission, where lives are changed, homes and communities are reestablished, and Jesus is preached to a community in need.  

The Frederick Rescue Mission is the largest provider of hot meals to the homeless and working poor in Frederick, serving 300 meals a day in the Bread of Life Community Kitchen for breakfast and lunch—the only agency in Frederick to do so. The Mission also supplies clothing and furniture to the needy men, women, and children free of charge. By the end of 2008, we are expecting to have given away over $26,000 worth of clothing and furniture vouchers this year. 

The Frederick Rescue Mission is also Frederick’s largest transitional shelter for men, housing 42 men in the Changed Life Recovery Program, a year-long program to help overcome drug and alcohol addictions. The program is holistic, seeking the root issues and causes for addiction, then through counseling, work therapy, spiritual guidance, and various classes helping the men to become positive role models and leaders to their families and communities. 

Come see for yourself what the Frederick Rescue Mission is all about! We give tours anytime during business hours and would love to talk with you about your part in answering God’s call to take care of the poor and the needy in our communities. 

There are over 5500 hungry men, women, and children coming to the Mission in need of food each month—up 25% compared to last year. With the economy down, there were a couple months where we weren’t sure we were going to make it. Several organizations and individuals in our community, however, have stepped up to the plate and given beyond their means to the Frederick Rescue Mission, including:  

-         Seismic Surveyors, whose employees voted unanimously to  give a gift of $500  to the Mission

-         Bechtel Corporation, who held a sculpture competition out of food donated (over 10,000 pieces of non-perishable food items) and donated $3,500

-         Edward Hayes-Loan, nine-year-old who willingly gave all of his allowance to the Frederick Rescue Mission 

Thank you for your support!! Our donors and volunteers are the backbone of our ministry, and we could not continue without you.  

The Santa Shop is coming! We are currently in need of toy donations to give out to parents in the community who cannot afford to buy their children gifts for Christmas. Donations of new toys and other children’s gifts will be accepted at 419 W South St in Frederick, from 8am-6pm Monday – Friday (Special accommodation for donation drop offs available by calling 301-695-6633 ext 222) . Tax receipts are available. 

Christmas: the season for giving. Better to give than to receive, naught? Would you consider this Christmas season, because God donated His Son to us, donating of your supply for him? It’s the gift you can’t put a value on—to feed a hungry child. To clothe a shivering old man. Would you be the voice of Jesus saying they are still His children? Showing them there is a better way, and there IS a better love? We believe there is, and they are.
