Rescue Mission Food Drive

From October 30 To December 22

What's Rescue Mission Food Drive?

Lancaster coming together!

This holiday season alone, Water Street Mission will serve nearly 27,000 meals to people experiencing homelessness. Additionally, we will give thousands of bags of groceries to those in need. That’s why we are asking our Lancaster community for a helping hand!

In order to reach our food drive goal of 80,000 pounds, here are two simple steps you can take to join the effort and make a difference for struggling families and individuals in our local community!
