From the Director’s Desk From the Director’s Desk As we head into the summer season things really pick up here at the Mission. Many times people ask if our occupancy picks up in the winter months. In reality the summer months are just as busy as the winter. Over the last 6 month we have been at our capacity for men (we can house 40 men) and the women’s side has been running right around 12 – 15. Summer also brings a lot more tension in the building. The temperature heats up outside and make tempers a little shorter. Please keep the Mission in your prayer this summer. Summer also brings out the air conditioning. We have 16 window units that we run during the summer and the cost of that is surprisingly more than the heat in the winter. We could always use a little extra support to help pay for this expense. You can either give by mailing it in or clicking the donation button on our web page. Thank you in advance for helping out with this need.
From the Desk of the Board The Board of Directors of the Galesburg Rescue Mission and Women’s Shelter is pursuing increased community involvement with the GRM. Over the past month, the board of directors has been discussing with staff, clients, and itself the overall effectiveness of the Mission. There is a need for more financial support for the current operation. The board of directors will be available to visit churches and other organizations to speak about the ministry of GRM. For groups desiring a hands-on experience serving others, GRM is offering Sunday evenings for feeding the bodies and souls of our residents. Your group will provide the 6:00 evening meal and provide leadership with the 7:00 p.m. Sunday Chapel Service. The meal will need to be prepared on-site to adhere to health codes. Anyone interested in hearing about the GRM or serving a Sunday meal and Chapel Service should contact Director Darrell Grimm at the Mission. "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
Thank You for supporting the Galesburg Rescue Mission and Women's Shelter
