Washington Blvd. location. The meal is free and open to all members of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Last Christmas, about 4,000 meals were prepared to serve those in need during the holiday. This year, The Rescue Mission is preparing to serve over 5,000 individuals and families due to the increased demand for services as the winter weather continues. Meals will be available for dine-in, carry-out, or drive-thru, with a limit of three meals per person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHomelessness and food insecurity are not new issues, but we have seen a rise throughout the year and expect it to continue with the ongoing cold weather and economic conditions. We recognize this increased need and are doing our best to help,\u201d said Pastor Thomas McArthur, President &#038; CEO of The Rescue Mission. \u201cWe are grateful to be able to open our doors to serve those in need this Christmas season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rescue Mission extends its heartfelt thanks to the American Electric Power Foundation and the many ministry partners who have made this meal possible through generous donations of food items, cash gifts, and the assistance of approximately 80 volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About The Rescue Mission<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter more than 121 years of evolution and adaptation, The Rescue Mission remains steadfast in its mission to \u201cprovide, through the power of Jesus Christ, a home for the homeless, food for the hungry, and hope for their future.\u201d In partnership with the caring businesses, agencies, churches, and individuals in the Fort Wayne area, The Rescue Mission remains committed to serving the community and those in greatest need.
