Celebrate a Special Occasion by Making a Difference

Are you celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or another meaningful milestone? Would you like to honor a friend or loved one in a special way?

Invite your family and friends to join you in celebrating — while also blessing those in need right here in our community. By hosting a fundraiser, you can turn your special occasion into an opportunity to support a cause close to your heart.

Every gift received will help provide life-changing support to those facing hunger, poverty, and addiction. Your generosity — and that of your loved ones — will bring hope and healing to many.

The Frederick Rescue Mission will send thank-you cards to acknowledge each gift, noting the special occasion being honored.

To learn more or get started, please contact Jasmine Sneed at jsneed@therescuemission.org or (301) 695-6633 x210.

If you would like to support the Mission, please visit our Giving or Current Needs pages.

Brenda Bell

Rescued Treasures Coordinator

Brenda coordinates the volunteers who sort clothes and assist guests in Rescued Treasures.

She has been working with people in poverty since 1981. She says, “First, I befriend them. Then I find out what they need and refer them to the program that could best help. I only help people who want help, and only in the ways they want help. Some people have addiction problems and don’t want to leave the street. I’m still their friend.”

Carol Switzer

Faith House Program Coordinator

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!
