At 6:00 every morning, volunteers and Mission residents gather in the kitchen to prepare a hot, nutritious breakfast. More volunteers serve the meal to the guests lined up at 7:00. At lunchtime, it all happens again, and because of you, dozens of people are well-fed and cared for each day. At the center of the operation is our Kitchen Manager, Mary Thompson.
Mary has spent her whole life in Frederick
Brenda Bell is a celebrity in Frederick. She may not be well-known among the rich and elite, but she is so famous among those experiencing homelessness that they regularly approach her for help. Fortunately, you have made it possible for the Mission to hire her to minister to “the least of these.”
Melissa’s dread of working on Christmas morning evaporated as she realized they were all family. Even though she loves the women and children guest residents,
Julia* has been in jail during several recent Christmases, and it was certainly NOT the “most wonderful time of the year” for her. Upon her release, she had nowhere to go and found herself homeless.
When Maria arrived in Frederick, she had no idea how she would feed or clothe her children. Thankfully, you provided for her family when they needed help, and today, Maria runs her own business.

Carol coordinates the programs at Faith House, working with residents to help them develop skills for independence. Carol also runs Crossed Bridges with her husband Jonathan. She enjoys playing any sport with a ball, crocheting, bike riding, and spending time with her husband and five children.
“He who loves God must love his brother also.” (1 John 4:21) explains what wakes Carol up in the morning to begin a new day; being able to serve the Lord while working with people, whether it be administratively or relationally. She loves hearing the testimonies of how Jesus has changed people’s lives, especially because He’s done so much for her!
