As we approach the season of giving, we invite you to join us in making a difference tomorrow on Giving Tuesday. Your support has been instrumental in the work we do at the Westminster Rescue Mission, and we are grateful for the impact weve been able to create together.⁣
This year, our focus has been on transforming lives through our two vital areas of service: the Addiction Healing Center (AHC) and the Mission Food Program (MFP).

The AHC: Our CARF-accredited, faith-based treatment program is dedicated to supporting those on their journey to substance-use recovery. With tailored approaches, we provide not only treatment but also transitional housing, outpatient, and after-care services.

The MFP: For those facing food insecurity, our community outreach services and food pantry have been a beacon of hope. As a distribution partner of the Maryland Food Bank, MFP collaborates with local resources, including churches, grocery stores, schools, and charities, to reach families in need throughout Carroll County.

👀 To see the incredible impact of your contributions, visit our blog page: Westminster Rescue Mission Blog. https://www.westminsterrescuemission.org/category/news
