(ALLENTOWN, PA) – The Allentown Rescue Mission would like to thank the community and its faithful
supporters for the many blessings they bestowed on its men experiencing homelessness throughout
2024. Donors and volunteers provided love and resources that helped the Mission rescue, rehabilitate,
and restore hundreds of men this past year.
On the most basic level, the donations collected allowed the Allentown Rescue Mission to provide
20,418 nights of safe shelter and 64,562 nutritious meals to men in need of refuge. Patron support
further aided 84 guests looking to change the trajectory of their lives by joining the Mission’s eight-week
Transformation Program. Sixty-nine graduates of the program went on to be employed by the Clean
Team Workforce to develop work skills and save money to transition to independent living. Guests
received shelter, meals, clothing, and free medical care through the DeSales Free Medical Clinic for the
duration of their stay.
In November, the Mission partnered with Josh Early Candies for its Thanks for Giving Food & Supplies
Drive. With the help of the wonderful people at Josh Early Candies and community support, the event
proved to be an overwhelming success, feeding Mission guests for the holidays and restocking the
Mission’s pantry to start 2025.
The Allentown Rescue Mission is 100% non-government funded and relies on the generosity of
individuals and local businesses. The men served and the successes achieved in 2024 were only possible
with the community’s help. On behalf of every man whose life has been touched by the kindness of its
nearly 16,000 donors and volunteers, the Allentown Rescue Mission thanks you.
