5. Our Experience
What we expected
Preparing and serving meals to the homeless in
our community
Learning about the services they receive
through the Phoenix Rescue Mission
Seeing the benefits that come with the
availability of a longer-term, holistic and
comprehensive program that makes true lifechange possible for homeless individuals by
attending to the mind, body and soul of each
person
What we experienced
A much wider mix than we expected of older
men, younger men and some families
Understanding that a meal becomes a
gateway to a much broader set of services –
from overnight shelter & a shower to longerterm addiction recovery, job training and job
placement services
6. Our Plan for Ongoing Relationship
1.
2.
3.
4.
Commitment to serve meals at the Phoenix
Rescue Mission quarterly.
Partner with the Phoenix Rescue Mission to
improve its current program services.
Share experiences and professional services that
will maximize holistic treatment offerings to those
served at both Journey Healing Centers &
Phoenix Rescue Mission
Schedule a time to visit Phoenix Rescue Mission’s
Changing Lives Center, which focuses on serving
women and children who have experienced
homelessness and a variety of traumas
7. How Would Phoenix Rescue Mission Utilize Any
Funds from the Service Super Challenge?
Phoenix Rescue Mission current plans to expand
the number of women and children it serves at the
Changing Lives Center from 100 women & children
today to 170 by the end of 2014
This will cost $250,000 to expand staffing, provide
meals, open new apartment units, expand
childcare and pre-school, and provide bedding
and furniture for unfurnished cottages.
Support at any level from the Service Super
Challenge would make a real difference!
