Winston-Salem Rescue Mission

The Winston-Salem Rescue Mission completed its first ever Back-to-School Backpack Program. This program was an extension of the community outreach efforts which already exist, such as the food pantry and clothing closet. The Rescue Mission worked with the WS/FC School System, in particular, Project Hope, to make sure area homeless children and those students in need, received one of the 220 stocked backpacks.

The Winston-Salem Rescue Mission hosted the first annual Mission Mile Road Race on Saturday, July 31. This exciting event, sponsored by Texas Pete, was fun for all who attended. The morning featured three separate races based on level of skill- beginner, intermediate, and elite. The top three male and female finishers for each race were:

Jesus tells us that when we feed, clothe, or help the sick, we are doing it for Him. I believe in the work of the Winston Salem Rescue Mission because through meeting physical needs, the door is opened to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.  It is mission critical that we not only impact the immediate, but we offer hope for eternity.  What better way to present this hope by loving and serving our neighbors with the grace and mercy that has been shown to each of us.  The Rescue Mission does this day in, day out, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
