Thanksgiving at the Mission

Thanksgiving is a tough time for those who come to the Mission. Most of us have families or friends with which we share holiday meals. Many men and women have no place to go. The Rescue Mission will be serving two traditional Thanksgiving dinners to low income families, or to those, who for various reasons, find themselves homeless. We will be sharing more than just a meal though; we will also be sharing the love of God to those who need it the most. We will be having a chapel service that day, and everyone from the community is invited. Dinner will be served at noon and 7:00pm.
If you would like to help with your donation of turkeys, food items, or finances, call the Mission at (503) 325-6243 or contact us at 62 W Bond St. Thank you.
Welcome to the Astoria Rescue Mission Website!
OUR MISSION
To meet the needs of the poor and homeless in Clatsop county. The Astoria Rescue Mission is a ministry to the whole person.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
What is the function of the Rescue Mission? To put it in its simplest terms, it is to produce changes in those who come to us. People who come to the Mission do so because they need help. Their lives are not working out as they planned and they need a change. Some look to change their physical circumstance. They need a place to stay or something to eat, which the Mission can provide. Others are looking for a deeper change because of the mess that they have made of their lives.
The message that we present at the Rescue Mission is that Jesus changes lives. For someone without hope this is good news. Another chance at life is an important gift and many that come to the Mission receive it gratefully.
