Just a Ditch
If you ever happen to be near Union Rescue Mission on a Tuesday morning around 9:00 AM, I hope you’ll stop by and join us for chapel. It’s not mandatory but most of our staff and residents feel that the hour we spend singing and praying and opening God’s word together is a highlight of our week.
A few weeks ago I spoke in chapel about my father Carl Bales who went to be with the Lord on April 30th. Growing up during the Great Depression, my father spent much of his childhood homeless. I used my dad’s story to illustrate the extraordinary impact simple choices and decisions we make every day can have on the lives of people we may never meet.
Your commitment to Union Rescue Mission is no different. When you give, you make an extraordinary impact on the life of someone you may never meet! Click here to see “Kenneth” the latest video in the ongoing, ground breaking series – Stories from Skid Row. At 17, Kenneth’s story is far from over. And because of your generosity his family is living safely at Union Rescue Mission.
Across the board Union Rescue Mission has seen demand for meals, shelter, and clothing increase to the point where we now serve an average of 3100 meals a day…an increase of 17% from just a few months ago. Without your continuous support, we simply will not be able to meet the increased demand. Every gift large or small makes a difference.
Thank you and may God bless you.
