We value dignity for our residents at your ERM's Men's Residence Center! As well, we value excellence. After 13 years, and tens of thousands of uses, it was time to offer our residential guests newly-refreshed restrooms and showers throughout the facility. This is the finished product in one of the restrooms, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Thanks to our great Facilities Team for their hard work on this project! Thanks to everyone who supports the Mission!

We are so grateful for your continued support of the Evansville Rescue Mission! ❤️ Your team consistently shows what it means to serve with love and compassion. Thank you for faithfully showing up, serving our neighbors, and being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. We are blessed to have you as part of the ERM family!

Jesus states that the foundations of a Christian life are feeding those who are hungry and taking on the role of a servant.

We had a group of 5 people from our church who demonstrated those qualities at Evansville Rescue Mission. We believe the church is more than a service on Sunday or Wednesday. It's loving and serving our community. Great job team!

Thank you for hosting us last Friday! We always love the opportunity to connect with our E-REP community and are grateful to be part of such a wonderful morning of networking and conversation. Thanks to the YMCA of Southwestern IN and E-REP for bringing everyone together! ❤️

☀️ DONATION TRUCK UPDATE ☀️

Due to the high temperatures and out of concern for the safety of our donation truck driver, our truck at Living Word will have modified hours today and tomorrow, from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM.

We appreciate your understanding as we make this temporary adjustment to keep our team safe in the heat.

Thank you for continuing to support your Evansville Rescue Mission! ❤️

One of the best parts of serving our community is being able to serve alongside our community partners.

When United Caring Services reached out for help with bottled water, your Evansville Rescue Mission was grateful to be able to step in.

We've experienced firsthand how generous this community can be when we need help. Being able to pass that generosity forward to a community partner is something we're incredibly grateful for. ❤️

As a part of our major "refreshing" project at our Washington Square Mall locations, we're adding some new outdoor COVERED seating areas adjacent to your ERM's Mission Grounds Coffee Shop! You're going to love all the changes! Remember...the proceeds from our stores stay right here in Evansville to help provide food, clothing, shelter, and programming for our homeless and hungry neighbors! Thanks for your support!
