Allentown, PA)— The Allentown Rescue Mission proudly thanks the Bethlehem and Lehigh Valley Marine Detachments for their support of homeless men in the Lehigh Valley. At the United States Marine Corps 245th birthday ceremony, the Marines presented the Allentown Rescue Mission with a gift of $500. The celebration took place at Cedar Beach Park in Allentown on November 10, 2020. The donation will help fund the Allentown Rescue Mission’s programs, and give the men the tools they need to overcome homelessness and reintegrate back into the community.
The Allentown Rescue Mission, a 501c3, 123 bed non-profit homeless shelter has been providing shelter for homeless men since 1900. In addition to emergency shelter services (365 days a year), the Mission offers a residential life skills program, and transitional employment on the Clean Team that’s available for hire to the community. The Clean Team pays the men above PA state minimum – helping them save a nest egg to transition back into the community. The Mission provides shelter services for over 946 men per year, and serves over 42,000 meals a year to men in need.
