Lehigh Valley Marketplace magazine wrote an article about the Allentown Rescue Mission’s Clean Team. The Clean Team is staffed by the men that have graduated from our Transformation Program. It provides them with temporary employment, teaches them good work ethics, and helps them save money to transition into back into society. From the article:
“They helped me get off heroin, and then I entered the Transformation program,” he said. “After much prayer, I began setting goals for myself—finish the program, find a job and get back on my feet.”
His turnaround really began when he started working in the Mission kitchen. After four months, he had saved enough money to find permanent lodgings at Tribeca apartments. Needing more money (and medical benefits), he again prayed for heavenly guidance – and was unexpectedly asked by the Mission’s CEO to come on board full-time as a Clean Team foreman.“
