What's New in June...   Volunteers Needed ... Show your support for the Springfield Rescue Mission by volunteering to march with us in the East Longmeadow 4th of July parade on Saturday, July 4th starting at 10:00AM. We'll be handing out Mission flyers, carrying our banner and greeting people. All volunteers will receive a Springfield Rescue Mission t-shirt. Call (413) 732-0808 ext. 114 to volunteer. We also need volunteers to help at our Emergency Shelter this summer. We will need help making repairs, painting, and doing general maintenance to our Taylor Street facility. If you are available to volunteer weekdays between 9AM and 4PM, please contact Julie at (413) 732-0808. Back to School Supply Drive ...
_edited.JPG) Reach out to needy children by collecting and donating NEW backpacks and school supplies. Last year we handed out 518 filled backpacks – let’s do it again! NEW supplies needed: backpacks, glue-sticks, calculators, pencils, pens, pencil cases, highlighters, erasers, plastic rulers, markers, crayons, colored pencils, composition notebooks, binders, notebook paper, memo pads, pocket folders, small tissue packs. Donations can be dropped off at the Springfield Rescue Mission, 19 Bliss Street, Springfield, by August 16th. With your help we can be sure that those truly in need will be receiving the supplies. We appreciate your partnering with us as we reach out to low-income families and homeless children in crisis.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to get involved and help out at the Rescue Mission and Emergency Shelter. This experience has given me a new appreciation and a new outlook on life. I believe that even after one day of working at the two places, I have grown as a person and I have been shown ways I can hlep others on a daily basis. Than you for making us feel welcome and for allowing us to come volunteer. I hope to see and work with you again in the future" - Ashley T.

Before
After
Adopt A Room: Through the generosity of our supporters, three rooms have been redone from floor to ceiling and two more are in progress. We invite you to help give our residents more than just a place to stay. We want them to have a place that feels like home. Many of the rooms in our facilities need to be refurbished, and everyone - families, businesses, and church groups included - is invited to gather together and "adopt" a room to restore!

Operation Sonshine: Volunteer on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Saturday of the month from 10AM - 2PM with our Rescue Mission Van Outreach to the inner city community; distributing meals, food boxes, clothing, blankets, rain ponchos, and toiletries in Hope Tote bags. This is a year-round ministry. We encourage volunteers of all ages in groups of 8 or less.
Bake a Meal: Many people are not able to come and volunteer at the Mission but want to help. Bake a meal to be frozen and drop it off at the Mission or organize a group of people to make enough food for dinner once a month. You would be a blessing to those we serve!
Countertop Display: Encourage your favorite retail business to display a Rescue Mission Countertop display. This is a great way to make the public aware of the Rescue Mission and raise money to feed and care for the hungry, homeless, addicted and poor
Bake Sale: Organize a bake sale at your church, business, or neighborhood and donate the proceeds to the Mission. The money will go directly to help feed and care for the people we serve.
Canned Food Drive: Organize a canned food drive at your home, office, or church. The meals we serve are based solely on food donations.
