Season of Serving Year Round at Union Rescue Mission
Join the Union Rescue Mission as we continue to serve our homeless Friends for the holidays.
(November 24, 2008)—On Wednesday, November 26, the Union Rescue Mission will serve up 2500 meals (served daily) to our friends who are homeless. Long time donors, Dr. Leonard and Mrs. Lydia Cruz of Trinity Nursing Home Management will be on hand to volunteer and serve holiday meals to our guests and the Skid Row community. The Cruz’s have also inspired their employees to give by organizing a Penny Box program where employees can donate their loose change. Mrs. Cruz said “we are an example of how others can help the Union Recue Mission in its humanitarian endeavors”
Union Rescue Mission’s, CEO, Andy Bales said “We can’t cut back on serving because the rest of the world and our fellow human beings need us more than ever right now. The Cruz’s are an example of those who realize how important it is for us to work together and that there are many ways we can all make a difference”
