Rescue Mission: Utica, NY

I had a delightful visit to the Resuce Mission yesterday in Utica. They are easily touching over 1000 lives per month there. One very interesting ministry is how they are helping people who cannot manage money. For over 600 people a month, the Mission becomes their Representative-Payee where they manage the money of these persons. These are people who can pay their bills but if they were left to their own strength and choices would end up homeless because they wouldn't. Overall, I was extraordinarily impressed with the staff and ministries of the Mission. If you were a person in need that had no place to go for help you would be very blessed to have these folks on your side. They care and appear to be very gifted.
