Homeless Shelter Macon GA, Domestic Violence | Macon Rescue Mission

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Caring and sharing hope through Jesus, the Macon Rescue Mission also serves the community by providing:

  • Monthly food box distribution for the elderly and disabled
  • Diapers, wipes, and baby food provided to needy mothers
  • Hygiene kits provided to the homeless and needy
  • Christmas Assistance Program for needy families
  • Free holiday banquets for the community

2009 Statistics

 
Service Quantity
Food Boxes Distributed 4,807
Diapers Distributed 19,990
Hygiene Kits Distributed 1,159
Children Provided with Christmas Gifts 514

These actions expand our outreach since individuals we are able to touch in this way are not in a residential program.

“[This program] definitely helps because I was struggling …being on a fixed income—utilities and doctor co-pays take up all the extra money that I have so there’s hardly any for groceries. I’m just grateful to be able to receive this help because I don’t know what I would have done, it was very difficult for me…so at least I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to eat. I thank you all!”
-Shirley Johnson, disabled, food box recipient
