Non-Cash Gifts are those donations other than financial which could benefit a homeless person or family in their struggle to better their living situation.
Items that we receive are:
- Given to guests staying at the Rescue Mission at no cost.
- Made available to the needy in our community.
- Used to help us provide services and programs at the Rescue Mission.
- Shared with other like-minded agencies, service providers and groups when a surplus exists.
Many supporters are generous with their giving. We recommend you itemize and give a dollar value to your items prior to making the donation.
