Helping Hand Rescue Mission

Sunday was a beautiful mess in Philly, one man slushed to the Helping Hand Mission with a desperate request as he walked in, “Socks.” We don’t take for granted that we have neighbors, friends, volunteers, and donors that have kept us open for 125+ years. Our food pantry, church, clothing closet, meals, and sock basket are an important part of the community, and Sunday was a solid reminder of the importance of the work.

We are grateful for all of you that have donated, served, and prayed for our community this year. We gather for a meal at the Helping Hand Rescue Mission, but it leads to much more. Our visitors are working to get back on their feet, and you are helping turn obstacles into opportunities.

We've made it through a tough Winter, serving meals outside -snow or shine. We are grateful for all of you who have continued to help our friends and visitors. We've come a long way, we have a long way to go.
