Hendersonville Rescue Mission

Hendersonville Rescue Mission Any agency can put a new coat on a man, but only Christ Jesus can put a new man in the coat. George and Anne Cox founded this ministry in 1981. Mr.

Our story began in 1981 with a man named George Cox and a Little Debbie food truck... our modern day story of the "fishes and loaves"! George was studying at Fruitland Bible Institute and driving a Little Debbie truck for a living at the time, and everyday he went through 7th Avenue seeing the people in need and feeling God's tug to do something to help; he just wasn't sure what. Then one day at c

hurch, a fellow member handed him $50 and said, "George this is for your ministry." Cox took that money and purchased a commercial sized coffee maker, and with his expired yet edible Little Debbie cakes, set up shop in the area that would soon become home to the Hendersonville Rescue Mission. He worked tirelessly to feed those in need and prayed for further guidance on what to do next. Through his prayer and generous donations from the community, HRM no longer just serves delicious hot, balanced meals to the public, but also provides shelter, guidance, education, support and hope to those looking to better their lives.

Today marks the end of an era here at Hendersonville Rescue Mission. For nearly 25 years, Tim Jones has walked these hallways, sat with folks in crisis, listened to stories - and told a few of his own, he's made us laugh, he's helped keep things running day in and day out, and most importantly he's helped show us the way of Jesus. He will forever be a part of the heart and soul of this place.

We are deeply grateful for his service here and wish him much joy as he continues to serve in this community at St. James Episcopal Church.
