Serving Meals – Combating Hunger
At the Rescue Mission, we believe that the pathway to stability often begins with a meal. That is why our Clarence L. Jordan Food Service and Culinary Education Center in Syracuse serves a hot breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the year to individuals currently in our shelter or those actively engaging with our Rescue Mission Street Outreach teams (SOS and HIS). Altogether, we serve up to 425 free meals a day; more than 155,000 meals annually.
