Neighbors of Hope... giving hope to families in need!
The face of poverty and homelessness in our community is changing. Approximately 80% of the people now turning to Springs Rescue Mission for assistance are families with small children. For families living in poverty, paying for basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter is a daily challenge. Unexpected expenses may require a choice between paying rent or purchasing food, keeping the lights on or buying clothes. These people are our neighbors.

When asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus told the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37). The moral of this gripping tale is clear: Being a neighbor means showing kindness to those in need. We have a responsibility not just to meet their immediate needs, but to help with long-term care, until they can get back on their feet.
That’s why our doors stay open 365 days a year,
to offer help and hope to the less fortunate.
The only way we can begin to address these ongoing and overwhelming needs is through the faithful partnership of our Neighbors of Hope.
You can show kindness to these neighbors by partnering with Springs Rescue Mission. Become a Neighbor of Hope by giving $32 or more a month, to make a lasting difference in the fight against poverty.
Neighbors of Hope are removed from our regular mailing lists, and instead, receive monthly updates and insider information regarding homelessness, local issues, and special opportunities to connect through volunteering.
Becoming a Neighbor of Hope is a great way to make a significant difference! It’s easy to sign up and you can cancel your partnership at any time, as the program is designed to be a blessing to you and not a burden.
For more information on becoming a Neighbor of Hope call (719) 314-2346 or email us at jane@mysrm.
