Sunshine Catering Cares has hit the ground running! With another successful event catered, we’re excited to announce that we now have capacity to cater more events.

Sunshine Catering Cares is about so much more than food and service. It’s an opportunity to help people build job skills, grow in confidence, and experience the dignity that comes from meaningful work.

Through catering, participants have a safe place to learn, practice new skills, work as a team, and gain hands-on experience they can add to their resumes. Every event gives someone an opportunity to learn something new, grow in their abilities, and take another step forward.

So, if you have an upcoming event, meeting, celebration, or gathering that needs catering, we would love the opportunity to serve you!

When you choose Sunshine Catering Cares, you’re not just ordering a meal—you’re helping create opportunities, build dignity, and invest in someone’s future.

We were incredibly blessed to provide two deserving teens with brand-new Dell laptops! Both currently reside at Hope Cottage, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to give them tools that can support their education, personal growth, and future opportunities.

One of the recipients is pictured here proudly receiving her new laptop. The second recipient is not pictured for privacy and security reasons, but she received the same brand-new Dell system as well.

A special thank you to Vivian Taylor, Director of Hope Cottage, and Kathie O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer, for their leadership, support, and commitment to the young people they serve.

Moments like these are exactly why we do what we do. Every laptop represents more than just a computer — it represents access to education, opportunity, independence, and the ability to keep learning.

We are thankful to everyone who supports NACC and helps make awards like these possible. Two new laptops. Two deserving young people. Two more opportunities to build a brighter future.

Last week we attended the Anti-Hunger Summit hosted by the Flagstaff Family Food Center. It’s such an honor to be part of a community that truly cares about its members, their quality of life and how they are surviving. The guest speakers were excellent, powerful and impactful. This is one of the most informative events I’ve ever attended. Thank you Ethan for your courageous stand!

Debbie is a walking miracle. I love to listen to her answering the phones in our main Admin office. The LIGHT and Joy that she carries as she shares her story from addiction and brokenness to a full life full of friends, family, travel and dedication to the work of ending homelessness for others. She has inspired thousands of people. Debbie serves as SRM’s Administrative Director. She holds close relationships with our donors and their families, our residents and guests at Hope Cottage and The Mission and she treats everyone the same. Debbie is living proof of God’s saving grace and His ability to radically change the trajectory of somebody’s life. She emulates all that happens here. Lives forever changed. TRANSFORMATION. SRM would not be the same without her.

She’s 25 years sober today!

We celebrate with you, Debbie! Thank you for being my beloved friend.
Kathie, SRM CEO

It was incredible to see the Body of Christ—believers from so many different churches—come together to praise God beneath a sunset that only He could create. 🌅

We are so grateful to the Northern Arizona Collaboration of Churches and to Dean Neasham with TDT Productions for believing in this dream and helping bring it to life.

At SRM, we were just a small part of it—helping with parking, and helping get the word out.

Isn’t this such a beautiful picture of what happens when we simply show up with what God has placed in our hands—and then trust Him to do the miracles?

We plant. We water. God gives the increase. 🔥🕊️💕

What a privilege to be part of the Body of Christ!

You are amazing! Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona has provided a home now for over 500 families in our community. There are no words to thank them for that and for the safe supported housing they provide at Sharon Manor for some of our families transitioning with employment out of Hope Cottage. They also provide so many people with a quality place to live at JoJo‘s Place, including some of the women and men overcoming homelessness here at SRM.

AND!!! WOW! Thank you Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona for the root beer floats! I was handed a root beer float gift card for Dairy Queen at a meeting last week and then more root beer floats came in the mail. So sweet! Literally!

You are amazing partners!

💚 It Takes a Community

You're invited to two incredible nights of worship on August 21st & 22nd!

The worship nights in July were truly unforgettable. Watching the Body of Christ come together as one, people from different churches, different backgrounds, and even many who traveled from Phoenix, was such a beautiful picture of God's Church united in worship. The presence of the Lord was powerful, and lives were impacted as we gathered to lift up the name of Jesus.

If you weren't able to join us last month, we'd love to see you this time! Come worship alongside fellow believers as we gather to give Jesus the praise He deserves.

The Meadow - 500 South Fourth Street, Flagstaff, AZ 86004 (Use Google Maps)
Gates Open: 5:00 PM
Worship Begins: 6:30 PM
August 21st & 22nd

Bring your family, friends, a blanket or chair, and come expectant. Let's gather as one Body with one purpose, to glorify Jesus.

We can't wait to worship with you! ❤

Grace Community Church's Men's Breakfast was a huge success! 🙌🍳

Sunshine Catering Cares, Sunshine Rescue Mission's newest social enterprise, had the privilege of serving breakfast to 175 incredible men of God. It was an honor to be a small part of a morning filled with fellowship, encouragement, worship, and faith.

A heartfelt thank you to Grace Community Church for trusting us to cater this special event. We are grateful for every opportunity to serve our community with excellence while creating meaningful job training and employment opportunities for individuals rebuilding their lives through Sunshine Rescue Mission.

Whether you're planning a church gathering, business meeting, nonprofit event, wedding, celebration, or special occasion, Sunshine Catering Cares would love to serve you! Every meal you purchase does more than feed your guests, it helps provide valuable job training, work experience, and hope for men and women working toward a brighter future.

Thank you to everyone who made this morning so special. We loved serving each of you and can't wait for the next opportunity!
