"I used to think people helped others because it made them feel like better people.”

For Kelci, coming from a history of addiction, that belief shaped the way she saw the world. But everything changed when she experienced genuine love, compassion, and care from the people at Lexington Rescue Mission.

Seeing staff, volunteers, and supporters show up for those in need, not for recognition or praise, but simply because they cared, completely changed her perspective.

God is moving in a powerful way. In April, 54 men and women graduated from our Re-Entry classes in the Fayette, Woodford, and Madison County Detention Centers, and 34 were baptized, choosing a new life in Christ.

Through The Genesis Process and Jobs for Life, we help individuals address the root causes of self-destructive patterns and build the job skills and character needed for a successful return home.

As these men and women prepare to reenter their communities, please join us in lifting them up in prayer for strength, healing, and a fresh start. To God be the glory.

Thank you, for your support of the Lexington Rescue Mission! We are eternally grateful. 👏

After completing a 6-month treatment program, Kelci felt God calling her to go deeper, to build a real relationship with Him. That decision changed everything.

Now, Kelci works at the Lexington Rescue Mission because she wants to be the hands and feet of God for others walking the same road she once walked.

“It would really mean a lot if we had the funds to continue to feed people, clothe people, and help them in every area of their life. Because getting back on your feet takes more than just one thing.”

Recovery isn’t just about one need. It’s about the whole person. Your support helps us meet people where they are and walk with them toward real, lasting change.

Meet Kathy 💙

At 62, Kathy has raised four children, has nine grandchildren, and a faith that shows up everywhere she goes.

It started with a cup of coffee. Kathy began stopping by the Mission as a neighbor, just for a meal and some fellowship. Before long, she was volunteering to serve lunch and joined our discipleship group, Steady Hands.

"I go and listen to the Word and give my input. I like doing stuff like that."

Kathy knew she wanted more than to sit at home. With the help of Mark Gamble, our Direct Placement Job Coordinator, she applied for a job, went to her interview, and was driven to her first day of work.

"I love my little job."

Kathy now lives out her faith everywhere she goes, even on her lunch break.

"I praise God no matter where I'm at or what I'm doing... I always put Him first."

Thank you for making stories like Kathy's possible. Your prayers and generosity change lives every single day.

As we celebrate 25 years of Lexington Rescue Mission, we're reflecting on the moments that helped shape our approach to lasting transformation. In 2008, the Mission expanded its services by creating walk-in hours with a social worker, offering employment counseling, opening a computer lab, and launching classes focused on budgeting and tenant rights and responsibilities. The following year, parenting classes were added to further support individuals and families on their journey toward stability.

These programs reflected a growing commitment to addressing not only immediate needs but also the barriers that can prevent someone from moving forward. Twenty-five years later, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do. 💙

A change of clothes can restore more than comfort. It can restore dignity. 💙

Inspired by Acts 16:14-15, Lydia's Attic is more than a clothing ministry. It's a place where individuals and families experiencing hardship are welcomed with hospitality, compassion, and encouragement. Every item shared is an opportunity to remind someone that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

Between January and May of this year, 496 people visited Lydia's Attic, finding not only clothing and essentials, but also a community ready to support them. As a vital part of Lexington Rescue Mission's ministry, Lydia's Attic helps meet practical needs while opening the door to deeper conversations, meaningful relationships, and lasting hope.

What may begin as a need for clothing often becomes an opportunity to connect someone with additional resources, support, and the love of Christ. Because of the generosity of our community, Lydia's Attic continues to impact lives every day by providing more than necessities. It provides dignity, encouragement, and hope for the journey ahead.

For 25 years, every meal served, every bed provided, every life changed, and every story of hope restored has been possible because of a strong community of people. 💙

The Lexington Rescue Mission has never been just our story. It’s a story written by a community of generous supporters who believe that every person deserves dignity, compassion, and a chance for a new beginning. Your prayers, donations, volunteer hours, and encouragement have helped thousands of men, women, and children find hope when they needed it most.

As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we’re filled with gratitude for all that we’ve accomplished together. And as we look toward the future, we’re reminded that the next 25 years of impact will be made possible the same way the first 25 were: through your generosity.

Thank you for believing in this mission. Thank you for investing in changed lives. Thank you for helping make hope possible, year after year.

As the Lexington Rescue Mission celebrates 25 years of serving our community, we’re taking a look back at the milestones that have helped shape our mission and expand our impact.

In September 2012, The Mission adopted the nationally recognized employment training program Jobs for Life and began offering classes at our outreach center, strengthening our commitment to long-term transformation through meaningful work and support.

For 25 years, every step forward has been driven by one purpose: reaching more people with hope, help, and lasting change.

Today reminded us that hope has many addresses. ❤️

We had the privilege of visiting and touring the incredible work being done at the Lexington Rescue Mission with our gracious host, Executive Director Laura Carr.

From touring their Grace Place, Lexington, and seeing firsthand the women’s sober living program, to hearing the heart behind the mission, one thing became very clear — lives are being transformed every day. What an incredible example of faith in action. It truly felt like a Lexington Dream Center.

Thank you to Laura Carr and the entire team for what you do for the sake of souls, recovery, restoration, and humanity. We are excited about building a strong partnership together.

On our way back to Cynthiana, we also stopped by Amen House and Russ' Kitchen in Georgetown. Wow.🥰☺️

What an amazing ministry meeting people where they are — providing support for hunger, homelessness, crisis situations, and so much more. Their compassion and commitment to serving others are inspiring. We came home very inspired and encouraged.

Today was a reminder that when organizations work together instead of apart, communities become stronger and more lives can be changed.

Hope is happening. Recovery is happening. Lives are changing.
