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.
UREGENT NEED
Written by Julie Barnes, Community Development
We have an urgent need for sample size toiletries. In January we run our annual “Hope Tote” campaign asking faithful donors to supply toiletries in full and sample sizes. We have run very low on sample sizes due to the increased number of people coming to the Mission for help on a daily basis. Please drop off any sample size toiletry donations of shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, deodorant, hand/body lotion, body powder, disposable razors, hand sanitizer, band-aids, cotton balls, q-tips, band-aids, chapstick and shaving cream to the Springfield Rescue Mission any weekday between 8:00AM and 6:00PM.
Volunteer Testimony
Written by Julie Barnes, Community Development
"Several years ago, I came across a news article about the Springfield Rescue Mission. It caught my eye as a place that could help one of my brothers. Unfortunately, he is in another part of the country. Yet, I could not get that article out of my mind and decided to do something to help with a cash donation. One donation led to another and I am proud to be a regular contributor. After a couple of years, I decided it was time to see where my money was going and to give more of myself by volunteering. Over the past three years, I have had the honor of working in the kitchen and meeting many of the residents and guests who stop in for breakfast or a holiday dinner. And when I'm at a discount or dollar store, I’m always looking for goods to fill the Sonshine Bags! “It has been so rewarding and I am so very happy that I decided to spend this time at the Mission. I always look forward to the next opportunity to lend a hand. My family now expects me to be “late” for holiday meals. They’ve even stopped asking me where I will be! One of my sisters decided to take a look at the Mission’s web site, and she was so impressed, she sent her own cash donation! “My message is simple: I'm delighted that I took the first step and will continue to support the Mission and Emergency Shelter any way I can.”
We thank Peggy for her gifts of time, talent, and treasure and for sharing her experiences at the Springfield Rescue Mission. And we invite you to follow her lead—come by and see how you can help.
Back to School Drive - UPDATE
Written by Julie Barnes, Community Development
Springfield schools begin on Monday August 31st and we are pleased to report that we have helped over 400 students by supplying them with NEW backpacks filled with necessary school supplies. We committed to sponsor three Springfield Elementary schools and we met that expectation thanks to faithful and compassionate donors and friends. Each child received a new backpack filled with all the supplies they need for a successful start to the new year. The children were elated when they saw the van pull up filled with all the backpacks and they were able to choose the one they liked most. Thank you and God bless!

The goal of the Springfield Rescue Mission since 1892 has been to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the hungry, homeless, addicted, and poor by introducing them to Christ and helping them apply the Word of God to every area of their lives. The Springfield Rescue Mission is a non-profit, Christian based Emergency Shelter and Rehabilitation Program providing food, clothing and shelter.
