Northlands Rescue Mission would like to thank everyone who helped make the 2021 Mission of Hope Banquet a success. For our first in-person banquet since 2019, many volunteers, donors, and supporters came together to fight homelessness and hunger in our community. We enjoyed a special evening of fellowship and the chance to share our latest work with the community: expanding the Backpack Program, continuing housing assistance, and supporting homeless veterans. Our deepest gratitude to the following sponsors for their support at the banquet and throughout the year:

This year's Mulligan Classic Golf Scramble was a great success for the Mission!

Thank you to everyone who sponsored the event and those who came out to golf!

There’s Healing in Helping Nidia has found that healing goes both ways since her arrival at Northlands Rescue Mission in October 2016. Homeless, hungry, and without a support network, all she wanted was a warm bed, warm meals, and maybe some warmth in a little companionship.

Candy Vigen is a retired school teacher and friend of the Mission. She got her first real look at poverty when she volunteered to tutor some of her students in their homes in the very poorest part of the town where she taught. Having grown up in an affluent neighborhood, she had no idea that people lived in such terrible conditions and with so few resources. She didn’t jump to action right away, but the memories of her students’ living conditions would stick with her for years to come.
