You know how important the Easter season is. Family traditions, sharing with friends and celebrating Christ's resurrection gives us hope. And it's just weeks away!
But there's always a growing crowd of men in our community who are left out... literally. Our unpredictable winter weather, COVID closures and challenges, rising costs, and the on-going issue of drug and alcohol abuse continue to hit homeless, hungry people hard here on the Peninsula.
More and more hurting souls come to the Mission for a hot meal... clean clothes... a safe, warm place to sleep. Each day, we serve about 60 meals to homeless guests, even with COVID restrictions. And our Overcomer's Program beds and overnight shelter beds are increasingly in demand!
It will be another Easter holiday on the streets for most of our homeless guests. They'll look to Peninsula Rescue Mission for help. Men in distress regularly turn to us when they're going through tough times. And they know we'll be there for them -- thanks to the support of friends like you.
Between now and Easter, we will serve almost 3,100 hearty meals. Each meal is an opportunity to change someone's life. For some of these hurting men, the meal they get at the Mission will be the beginning of a NEW LIFE in Christ.
