Keep someone warm this fall season

 

Dear Joseph, When Bennett came to Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, he didn't have anywhere else to go. He had a long battle with addiction, and was in between park benches and other shelters for over 20 years.  After arriving at the Mission, he received the care that helped bring stability into his life. “The Mission brought me out of the cold and gave me food, shelter, and spiritual guidance." Read Stories from People Like Bennett Would you help people like Bennett find shelter this fall as we prepare for an extra special Thanksgiving celebration? As the temperature drops, we are relying on support from generous people like you to help us provide care and compassion to those experiencing homelessness. For just $2.25, you can provide someone a fulfilling Thanksgiving dinner. For $24.50, you can help ensure a person receives three meals and a night’s rest at the Mission. As you plan your family’s celebration this fall, consider donating to us so we can help support those who’ve lost connection with theirs. Support Someone in Need! Our Mission Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission exists to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the homeless and disadvantaged in the Philadelphia area.
