Your Impact on this Thanksgiving

We Thank You for Your Incredible Generosity this Thanksgiving! From your support and generosity, we were able to hold another successful Thanksgiving celebration for our guests and anyone who came to the Mission on Thanksgiving searching for a meal. Through our Prepare a Plate Fundraiser, we were able to raise more than $40,000 to serve more than 500 meals to those in need. Not only did your generosity help provide meals to the hungry, but also helped us create a celebratory Thanksgiving atmosphere that many have never experienced before.  Your continued support and dedication to our Mission have allowed us to continue to serve and create positive impacts for those who are hungry, hurting, and homeless in the community.  To see the impact you had this Thanksgiving, view the stories below: 'I'm thankful for today': Philadelphia shelter feeds homeless and hungry during Thanksgiving feast Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission Servers Thanksgiving Dinner To 600 Homeless Men, Women Organizations Come Together To Feed their Communities on Thanksgiving Where to volunteer in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving We thank you again for your continuous support of the Mission.
