A Lamp in the Window
Since our doors opened in 1887, thousands of individuals of every background credit their days at the Rescue Mission with saving their lives.
And when the Rescue Mission faced possible closure in the 1920, an editorial in the Post-Standard urged its continuation, calling the Rescue Mission a “lamp in the window of hospitality and comfort for the discouraged and disconsolate…”
We remained open – our doors have never closed. And if you drive down Gifford Street – you’ll see a lamp in a second floor window – a reminder that the Rescue Mission will always serve as a beacon of light for generations to come.
With a planned gift or a legacy to the Rescue Mission, you join a very special group of supporters who want to make sure the life changing programs of the Rescue Mission are always here for our community. But most of all – your goodwill and generosity ensures that our lamp will always burn bright.
