***PLEASE NOTE*** 

 

The Allentown Rescue Mission welcomes all donations and we are so grateful to our loyal donors and the public for your continued support. 

This time of year, the Mission tends to receive whole turkey and ham donations. Since we have limited freezer space, we ask you to consider donating turkey breasts or legs to make the most of our freezer space. Thank you for your donation and for allowing us to continue to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Restore men experiencing homelessness.

Your contribution will help stock our pantry and provide for the immediate needs of men experiencing homelessness. The prices of groceries and most other goods have skyrocketed, but the needs of the roughly 1,000 men the Allentown Rescue Mission serves each year persist. We cannot provide the almost 70,000 meals necessary each year to nourish men in need without YOUR support!

 

Join the Allentown Rescue Mission at Josh Early Candies in Allentown and Bethlehem on Saturday, November 16th from 10am-2pm for a Drive-Thru Drop-Off event to support the Mission’s annual Thanks For Giving Food and Supplies Drive. Please drop off your food and supplies at Josh Early Candies in Allentown located at 4640 W Tilghman Street or their Bethlehem location 3620 Nazareth Pike (Rte. 191) on November 16th from 10am – 2pm.  This is a drive-thru drop-off to make it as convenient as possible for our donors; simply pop your trunk or open your car door and we will take your donation and provide you with a receipt and Allentown Rescue Mission magnet! 

 

Donations are also accepted every day at the Allentown Rescue Mission located at 355 Hamilton Street, Allentown, PA 18101.

 

Please call us at 610-740-5500 Ext. 339 or email us at changinglives@armpa.org if you would want to hold a drive at a different date or time.
