It's Sparkling!



I wish you could come by the mission and take a whiff of the sparkling clean lobby or see the shiny new stainless steel washroom equipped with a new Hobart dishwasher! (F.Y.I. if you ever would like to stop by and get a tour of the mission, you are very welcome!) What a blessing God has blessed us with to have such a sparkling clean facility, a temporary home for anyone who needs a place to stay or anyone who is hungry and needs a meal. Special thanks to the local chapter of Companies for Christ International who blessed the mission with a complete stainless steel dish washing room and new dishwasher. Fred, the dish admistrator is so excited to do dishes because it takes less time and elbow grease. WE appreciate you so much. Thanks!

Charity

Thank you for showing tangible love and charity. Las Cruces Gospel Rescue Mission is a charity because through your gifts and volunteerism, people in our community from all walks of life have experienced tangible love. You have not just said, "I love you". You have expressed it by real acts of mercy from the heart. Thank you for all the lives you have touched-
69,326 meals were served to hungry people in our community, 7,304 people shopped for free at the Clothing Room and received 108,478 items of clothing last year donated by you. People who had no place to go found warm shelter. In 2007, there were 20,655 nights of men's lodging and 5,857 nights of women and children's lodging. Thanks for giving love to those in need. Happy Valentine's Day!
