We would like to thank the following foundations for supporting the Springfield Rescue Mission and our goal to meet the needs of the hungry, homeless, addicted and poor.
Undie Sunday Undie Monday Campaign
Written by Julie Barnes, Community Development
“A project you can get behind”
For the past sixteen years the Springfield Rescue Mission has collected underwear, socks and t-shirts for distribution to the homeless. We serve over 4000 men each year at our Emergency Shelter and we’d like to provide each of them with a new, clean set of underclothing.
Our goal is to collect 4000 pairs of socks, underwear and t-shirts.
You can help by starting a collection at church or work in September and continuing the drive through October. Bring your donations to the Springfield Rescue Mission, 19 Bliss Street, in early November.
As the weather starts getting colder, donating a warm set of underclothing is an easy way to show the love of Christ to someone who has not had a clean pair of undergarments for months. Help us reach our goal and provide everyone who comes to the Mission’s Emergency Shelter with new, clean underwear, socks and a t-shirt! Very often spiritual healing begins with physical needs being met.
We'll keep you posted on our 4000 piece goal with updates on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hope4springfield)

Emergency Appeal from our Director
Written by Ron Willoughby, Executive Director
This is difficult for me to write but I feel I have no choice. Our income this summer has fallen far below what we had budgeted. By summer’s end, we could be as much as $85,000 behind what we must have to sustain the current number of meals we serve to hungry and homeless people. Other vital services, including those to families and children, are also at risk.
The timing’s not good. Although there is talk of the recession being over, I am seeing more and more homeless men, and families in need of assistance, each day. The last thing I want to say to any of these precious people who needs us is, “No, I’m sorry but we can’t help you.” And yet it is getting more and more difficult to say “yes.”
I hesitate to ask—but will you please consider an emergency gift to Springfield Rescue Mission today? I realize your own financial circumstances may be less than ideal right now. So, I simply ask you to do what you can, if you can, whether it’s $25 or $250…$50 or $500 or more. All you have to do is click the "Donate to the Mission" Link to the left. Any amount will help provide meals, shelter and other life-transforming care.
I appreciate you so much and count it a privilege to be a partner with you in helping people who are hungry and homeless. Please keep updated on the Emergency Appeal progress by becoming a facebook fan ... www.facebook.com/hope4springfield
Sincerely,
Ron Willoughby, Executive Director
Toiletry Supplies Needed for Homeless
Written by Julie Barnes, Community Development
We are running very low on DEODERANT, DISPOSABLE RAZORS, SOAP and Sample Size Toiletry Items (seen in photo).
Although there is talk of the recession being behind us, we at the Mission see more and more families in need of assistance each day. An easy way you can help others this summer is to donate toiletry items to the Mission. If you don’t use your shampoo or lotion while on vacation, donate them to the Mission upon return.
Thank you!
Please drop of all donations at the Springfield Rescue Mission, 19 Bliss Street, Springfield, Monday – Friday 7AM-6PM.
