MAKE OUR MISSION YOURS

112011 Annual ReportMessage from our Chief Operating Officer

It’s been a challenging year at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission. As unemployment remained high and people struggled in the poor economy, government benefits con-tinue to dwindle. We realized that if we didn’t act quickly, more people would be joining the ranks of the homeless and seeking shelter at the Mission.

Our Community Services Department responded with case workers dedicated to helping people pay their bills and stay in their homes. Next our kitchen rose to the challenge by providing emergency food baskets to people in the community – 212,364 food basket meals in total. These requests soared to a staggering 72% increase in just two short years!

In addition, the mission helped nearly 3,000 homeless men, women, and children with meals, shelter, clothing, counseling, and transformational programs. Educational opportunities also increased with partnerships forged through community relationships and volunteer tutors.

Through our permanent housing placement program, we successfully placed hundreds of men, women and children into homes of their own. We could not have done it without help from our generous supporters. To all those who have donated, volunteered, prayed for us, and for the people we serve, I give you my heartfelt thanks.

DAN BROWN, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

“We stayed in my car for several nights. And then I heard about the Mission. I’m so thankful they were there for us when we needed it most.”

So how much is a new life worth? For just $39.75 a day we provide food, clothing, shelter, medical access, job training and so much more.
