Message from the President

Like 2010, this year was a rough year for a lot of people. I'd like to personally thank those of you who helped us reach out to the poorest of the poor through your gifts, volunteer efforts, and donations of food, clothing or other items. We will serve a staggering number of meals in 2011, and provided safe shelter for thousands of people. I hope you're encouraged by our 2010 statistics . But they are just a glimpse of the many lives you've touched this year.

If you're new to our site -- welcome! The Atlantic City Rescue Mission is a place of help for the homeless- those who have fallen on hard times due to circumstances far beyond their control. Each person we help has a story (read some of their testimonies) and at one time had the same aspirations, hopes and dreams as you or I. But homelessness can strike anyone.

That’s where we can step in and together make a real difference! Start by becoming informed—exploring the website to discover the causes of homelessness and how you can help. We hope you join us in our cause—restoring lives, providing comfort to those who are broken, and bringing healing to our fellow human beings.   -Bill Southrey, President and CEO
