Imagine what it’s like to experience homelessness along the Wasatch Front, especially during the Thanksgiving and holiday season.

It’s cold and lonely. You can’t afford a meal, let alone a place to stay. Businesses do not let you come inside to get warm, even for a few minutes. People walk by and barely notice or avoid you all together. Today, the rising cost of life’s essentials means more people are facing homelessness and isolation.

The journey of healing and restoration often begins with a meal, or a good night’s sleep, at the Rescue Mission — and that’s why your gift to support our annual Thanksgiving Banquet is so critical. As a private, faith-based charity, we depend on support from friends like you to help our neighbors in critical need.

Beyond a hot, nourishing Thanksgiving meal, your support today help provides:

• Shelter, clothing, and education
• Job training and mentoring
• A home for the holidays
• A pathway off the streets

For over 50 years, the Rescue Mission has cared for the people in greatest need in our community, providing nourishing food, shelter, and warm clothing. In our long-term programs, we help hurting men and women address the root causes of their homelessness. Through education, job training, Bible studies, and other services, we give them the tools to rebuild their lives, and become the men and women God truly intends them to be — and stay off the streets permanently. Please give today by calling our finance office at 801.746.1006 for secure credit card donations over the phone, or visit RescueSaltLake.org to donate through our website!
