The Back to School Basics Clothing Drive

As the summer comes to a close, many children in the area are looking forward to finding that perfect first day of school outfit. However, there are hundreds of children in the area who will be struggling just to find clean underwear. No child should have to go to school in dirty clothes. Rome Rescue Mission is collecting new back to school outfit, new socks and new underwear for children.

In addition to donating the basics, monetary contributions are welcome and greatly appreciated. With the help of donors throughout the community, the Rome Rescue Mission can provide nearly 1000 children with essentials like clean socks and underwear plus a new back to school outfit.

The Rome Rescue Mission is a Christian organization committed to assisting the least, the last, and the lost. Many come to their doors seeking a warm meal, a loving environment, and a hope for a brighter future.

The Rome Rescue Mission serves 200 meals per day and has an 18-bed shelter for women and children. They provide a means of hope by giving shelter to the homeless, feeding the poor, inspiring lifelong learning, and encouraging a personal relationship with God to everyone who is served.

Monetary donations are always gladly accepted and appreciated. Donations can be made via checks mailed to PO BOX 337, Rome, NY 13440, or online at RomeMission.org.
