Maurie C. Byrne Chapter Donates $500 to Northlands Rescue Mission
October 2, 2018
This morning the Maurie C Byrne chapter donated $500.00 to the Northlands Rescue Mission. Northlands Rescue Mission is a place of rescue, relief and restoration for all who come, no matter their needs or challenges. For the homeless living on the streets, they are a hot meal, a warm bed and a second chance. For the mentally ill, they are a safe harbor that offers compassionate care. For an impoverished family in crisis, they are a source of help and hope.
Through this donation, the chapter hopes to touch several of the programs that the mission has in place including he Backpack Program. Locally, over 610 children each week receive a grocery bag filled with two breakfasts, two lunches, two snacks, and two beverages. Children who don’t have enough to eat are able to have food throughout the weekend because of this program and those who invest in it.
