TRANSFORMED BY HELP AND HOPE

A Testimony Of Redemption At The Downtown Rescue Mission

At the Downtown Rescue Mission we offer Help and Hope. Help to overcome hunger, homelessness, addiction and abuse, and Eternal Hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Thismission statement couldn’t be more true for my life!

I’ve worked for the Downtown Rescue Mission for almost 10 years in our Thrift Stores, but my time didn’t truly start there. My start with the Mission was coming in on the side that the people we help come from.

Being able to hear about their accomplishments whether it be they… found a church home, trust regained from a family member or friend, made down payment on a car, accepted into college or job training, first time they have ever had their own place, longest time they have ever been sober, or even excited about driving classes.

…THIS is what makes the sometimes long days at work worth it, knowing that just like me 11 years ago that the DRM through the love of Christ is still giving people HELP and HOPE.

I was one of those people looking for help and hope but had no idea that what I would find there would forever change my life. My running from God had led me right to Him and to people that were staff and volunteers that didn’t know me but loved me because of HIM (God).

I’m truly blessed to be a part of DRM’s Thrift Store team and over the years to be able to work alongside many of the men and women that come through our programs and work in our stores.
