Awarded for Making a Difference!

Congratulations! Wylene Saunders, Las Cruces Gospel Rescue Mission Clothing Room Supervisor was awarded the 2013 Ruby Award today by the members of Soroptimist International of Las Cruces. The Ruby Award honors women, who through their professional or personal efforts, are making extraordinary differences in the lives of women or girls in our community. The honorees are individuals who inspire and encourage other women!

We appreciate Wylene's heart and service to help women and girls at the Clothing Room. She has gone beyond the role of duty to help and make sure that each person coming into the clothing room not only gets clothing they need to be successful at work or school, but receives encouragement and resources to better their lives and the lives of their children. Wylene has helped thousands of people through her decades of service at the Rescue Mission's Clothing Room.

Commenting about the award, Wylene said, "This award is for the volunteers at the Gospel Rescue Mission Clothing Room who have helped through giving their time and energy." Many of the Clothing Room volunteers have been working together for multiple years. This is unusual in a volunteer setting and reflects the commitment and enjoyment of a team who care and work together.

Thank you, Wylene, for your leadership, hard work and enduring heart.

Thank you for providing shelter!

 

We leave the light on! 24/7 open for anyone in need of shelter.
Thank you for providing shelter.
 

Thank you to each of you who has helped provide warm emergency shelter for anyone in need through your gifts and volunteer service. You make such a difference!

Last year, the women's and children's beds were slept in 2,943 times. The men's beds were slept in 14,583 times. Thank you for allowing us to be there for those who had no where to go.

 Anyone who was in need of a place to sleep last night didn't have to sleep outside. You provided a warm bed, delicious meal and hot shower. Thank you!

Please join us tonight, Thursday Feb. 21st for an evening of delicious soups and testimonies from people whom you have reached and helped through your care and generosity.

Please call the mission at 523-7727 to RSVP. Thanks!

We have a new e-mail address!

Christmas Gifts Part One

Copy of Christmas Gifts Part One

This past Christmas, over 700 gifts were received by needy families in our community. All of these gifts were donated. Thank you for sharing your love and joy during the season of giving and remembering the love we were all shown at the first Christmas. You touched so many people who would not have had gifts at Christmas. Thank you!  Please enjoy the video! :)

Christmas Gifts You Gave!

Christmas Part Two

Thank you to everyone who shared joy, time, and gifts to help give Christmas meals to those who did not have family or funds to have them. This video link shows what you did! :)

Warm Shelter Cool Snow

As the snow fluttered down blanketing the city of Las Cruces on Thursday night, 80 people (including women and one child), were warm in comfortable cozy beds. It's a relief to know that when people are in need of emergency shelter, Las Cruces Gospel Rescue Mission is there open 24 hours. The Rescue Mission's services are free to help meet people at their point of need. Filling, delicious meals are served three times daily: breakfast, lunch and supper for anyone who is hungry and in need of food. In need of shelter or would like to volunteer and help...call the  Rescue Mission at 575-523-7727.

Thank you to Steve Ramirez from Las Cruces Sun-News for letting everyone know about the needs and services of the Gospel Rescue Mission!
