Thanksgiving Banquet at Springfield Rescue Mission
Last Wednesday, ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, The Springfield Rescue Mission spent the day serving up hot Thanksgiving meals to area residents in need. Meals were served in an on-site banquet, through a drive-through service and delivered to community members. The staff at MBK came together for a Thanksgiving drive and we are proud to have been able to help support The Springfield Rescue Mission for this year's banquet.
Homelessness and food insecurity have been on the rise in recent years and CEO Kevin Ramsdell says they've seen an increase in demand at the Springfield Rescue Mission. The organization works year-round to provide food to members of our community who are facing hunger.
Right now, The rescue mission is looking to put on a traditional Christmas dinner and anticipates preparing 800 and 1,200 meals for Christmas breakfast and dinner. They will also be collecting presents to give out to the children who in to The Springfield Rescue Mission on Christmas.
It's not just the holidays that the rescue mission needs donations for, though. The Springfield Rescue Mission also holds meals each week for the community. Those in need of food need help year round, and the rescue mission is always accepting donations of items like bread, cheese, meats, toiletries or monetary donations to allow the mission to purchase immediate needs.
