When Howard and Lynn started volunteering with us 16 years ago, they had no idea their service would blossom into the ministry it is today. Howard explains, “I thought I’d just plop some food on plates, and that would be it. I didn’t know there would be all this opportunity to care for people!”
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.”
“My boyfriend kicked me out, leaving me nothing,” said Jenny* when she explained to long-time volunteer Pat Strawder why she needed an entirely new wardrobe. Pat was able to help the young lady “shop” for everything from undergarments to a coat because you donated your gently used clothing to Rescued Treasures, our free clothing shop.
