2008 Community Thanksgiving Meal








Our 2008 Community Thanksgiving Meal was a success. The ministries of Piedmont Rescue Mission were able to feed over 100 people that had no place to go or were homeless. Thanks so much to all of our volunteers that helped to serve food, drink, and desserts, or if you greeted and talked with people. We could not have done it without you!
We would also like to thank Georgio Harvalias of Di'Georgios Catering for donating all of our Thanksgiving meal food! His information is listed in the previous post.
Also a big thanks to Loaves & Fishes Food ministry and Allied Churches for donating their leftover food to our mission.
God bless all of you who enabled us to reach the community with the gospel and a hot meal.

Neal Wilcox, founder and director emeritus of the Winston Salem Rescue Mission. Rev. Wilcox was Executive Director of the Winston Salem Rescue Mission for approximatley 33 years.

Every year, in order to provide the meal at no cost to our invited guests, we ask local businesses and individuals to sponsor a table which will pay for the meals at that table. The cost to sponsor a table of 10 will be $250. As a result, your name or your business name will be listed at the table, on our program and presentation and you will be listed in our PRM newsletter which goes out to about 2700 people. Please consider helping us as we try to spread the word about the work we are doing here in Burlington, and in Siler City, and even in East Africa.

Alamance Rescue Mission - www.piedmontrescuemission.org/ARM.htm

We provide a "home" for men in need of food, clothing, shelter, and guidance to become responsible, self-disciplined, and self-supporting citizens.
After a 5:30 a.m. wake-up and 6:00 a.m. breakfast, group devotions and prayer are held each morning at 6:15 a.m. Following devotions, residents rotate clean-up jobs around the Mission. Next, residents who are new to the ministry participate in a work program at the mission or at our thrift store, the Good Samaritan.

Those residents who have been at the Mission for more than 30 days must seek full-time employment and begin to pay $55 a week toward his stay at the Mission.
The Mission provides chapel services which are held Monday and Friday evenings. The residents are required to attend Sunday morning and evening and Wednesday night at designated churches.
As long as guidelines are being met, residents may live at the mission for as long as it takes to be ready to live on their own. It takes time for "old" bad habits to be replaced with "new" good habits.
