For the month of January's Community Outreach, we shine a light on the Springs Rescue Mission (SRM). Homelessness, poverty and addiction are harsh realities for so many men and women in Colorado Springs. SRM provides life changing services and offers a safe, welcoming environment for transformation. Thanks to community support, the Mission offers these individuals access to innovative programs to help them restore their health, find jobs and move into permanent housing.
As the largest homeless service provider in southern Colorado, with the capacity to host up to 450 men and women every night, there is a great need for first night essentials. At our social this month, we will be collecting new/unused items: HYGIENE ITEMS (travel-sized shampoo, soap, deodorant), PANTS (men and women), SOCKS, COATS, WINTER HATS, and GLOVES. When you bring a donation to the social, you will receive one opportunity ticket.
