The Best Meal You Ever Had

While you may not say that the best meal you’ve ever eaten was at the Charlotte Rescue Mission, I know someone who did say that.

He came to the Mission because his years of addiction left him living on the streets. Hungry and cold, he was sick and tired of being sick and tired. That first meal he ate as a client in the Rebound division of the Mission (as he tells the story) was the best meal he ever ate. While we work hard to make it hot, tasty and nutritious, he glows every time he tells the story.

You see, it was the generosity of so many people that helped provide him with that hot, nourishing plate of food. This month alone, support through our Hunger to Hope campaign will help provide almost 18,000 meals to hungry, hurting men and women without any government or United Way funding. Thank you.
