The Union Rescue Mission will hold its annual fundraiser, “Night on the Street” on March 10, 2009. The “Night on the Street” campaign brings awareness to our community about the homeless situation in our city and provides the opportunity to raise much needed funds for the day-to-day operations of the Union Rescue Mission.

To help raise funds for the Union Rescue Mission, I am prepared to stay on the street for one night on March 10, 2009. I am going to need your help to get me through my night!! Throughout the evening, I will be calling my associates and friends for donations; however, I would like to give you an opportunity to support those we serve by making your gift in advance. If you want to join me on the night of March 10th at the River Marker Pavilion, please contact me about your participation in this year’s event. Boxes may be decorated with your company’s logo with a sponsorship level of $1,000.00

The Union Rescue Mission monthly serves an average of 18,000+ meals to the hungry and daily shelters an average of 190 people. Every night, some 28 children sleep in our warm beds instead of out on the street or in an unsafe situation. We also provide recovery services to the chemically addicted and domestically abused. Your support of the Union Rescue Mission gives to those that would have no other alternatives but to sleep on the streets is priceless.

We have always been amazed by the generous response of our community, and today we are reaching out to ask your help. Will you stand with us once again, to provide urgent care and lasting hope to the least, the last, and the lost? Our recent economic woes throughout the country are forcing more and more individuals and families from their homes out into the streets and into the shelters. Union Rescue Mission and Dorcas House want to be ably equipped to assist as many of those less fortunate as possible in our community, but we need your help.

If you have any questions, please contact Denise Pote at the Mission office at 501.374.1748 or me at 501.690.3944. Again, on behalf of the Union Rescue Mission, I thank you and I look forward to working with you on behalf of this worthy cause.
