What's Happened This August at Sunday Breakfast

Feeling Humanized  Meet our New Spiritual Care Coordinator  Mission Success Story: Joseph Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission: Feeling Humanized  At Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, we advance our mission of transforming lives by the power of God and seek to activate God-given potential by serving homeless, hungry, and hurting adults in Philadelphia through loving, compassion-based programs and services. We thank Epic Church who created this beautiful story.  They captured our mission of fostering an authentic community where people experiencing homelessness can find stability. Watch Now Meet our New Spiritual Care Coordinator Spiritual Care Coordinator is a weighty title, but Joseph doesn't press it on others. He explains his job as much less of a job and much more of a passion. "My job? Giving our men opportunities to have a personal relationship with God through activities and worship."  Joseph graduated from Clark Summit University with a degree in Bible and Intercultural Studies with a dream to make his way to Philadelphia to preach in the streets, but God had other plans and he found his way to Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, and we are so happy he did.  "I think it's important that each man have a restored relationship with God, restored relationships with those in their lives, and an understanding that they are not defined by their past." Learn More About Our Team Mission Success Story Joseph was struggling with alcoholism for most of his life. He lost his father to alcoholism when he was just 6 years old. But alcohol never dulled the pain of the series of events that brought him to Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission.  After 36 years of installing carpet and flooring, Joseph lost his job. Shortly after, he got divorced which strained his relationship with his son. Joseph needed to get away. He made his way to Atlantic City where he slept under the boardwalk before making his way to a local shelter. However, he was turned away since he wasn't from Atlantic City.  Joseph made his way back to Philadelphia searching for help. Instead, he found out his brother passed away. Soon after he was checked into Friends Hospital where he got back on his medications and they brought him to Sunday Breakfast.  Now, Joseph is working with a Case Manager to help him get a place of his own. While at Sunday Breakfast, he volunteers in the kitchen and dining as he works towards meeting his goals.  "I don’t feel even the need to drink anymore. My goal is to be the Joseph I was when I wasn’t drinking, so I can be a great father to my son.” Read More Mission Stories Follow us on social to stay up-to-date: Our Mission Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission exists to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the homeless and disadvantaged in the Philadelphia area.

Take action and support Overdose Awareness Day

A decade ago, at the beginning of the opioid epidemic, Cheryl Juaire’s son, Corey, died of a heroin overdose at age 23. She knew little about opioid addiction when Corey struggled, and she didn’t know anyone with a child who had died, let alone from an overdose. For the next two and a half years, she and her family grieved alone. When she received an invitation to meet other mothers who had lost a child from an overdose, they helped her get a new perspective on life with grief. She then came to understand how much grieving parents needed one another. Her grief remains, but it now manifests itself in hope and advocacy. That hope is still there despite the death of her second son, Sean, lost to addiction in 2021. Cheryl is working to support families and recognize their loss in a public and cathartic way by asking Federal and state governments to fly flags at half-staff in honor of Overdose Awareness Day. Ask your members of Congress to cosponsor a resolution, H.Res. 349, to encourage federal buildings to lower flags to half-staff in support of Overdose Awareness Day to help bring attention to the national overdose crisis and honor the lives lost. Support Overdose Awareness Day People and families struggling with substance use and addiction encounter a variety of systemic challenges throughout their journey, which is why we created a new section of our website called "Help Us Change the Story of Addiction." The site features personal stories like Cheryl’s that bring these structural barriers to life. Each story highlighted will offer visitors an opportunity to advocate for specific policy change by signing an action alert or by sharing similar stories from their own journey. Let’s start re-writing the story of addiction today. Read Cheryl’s story
