Father & Son: Building aTradition to Remember

What started out as class credits 2.5 years ago for Stephen Linson who attends South Meck High School, ended up being a tradition for himself and father Jeff Linson. The father and son team get up every Saturday morning at 4:30am to arrive at the Charlotte Rescue Mission to serve breakfast. They both enjoy helping others as they build a stronger bond between each other.

Son, Stephen Linson and father Jeff enjoy making a difference in a cooperative effort bigger than themselves. Jeff says, “The men at the mission are good men who are restoring their lives and we want to be a part of the process”. Ironically it did not begin as a father-son event but our relationship has benefited from it. It is neat to see my son Stephen who is a junior in high school growing independently as a leader and forming his own relationships”. Jeff also grew up watching his father serve in New Jersey, Rescue Mission when he was younger.
