It's getting colder, and we want to make sure that everyone who comes through our doors has what they need to stay warm this fall and winter. Help us do that by donating winter jackets, hats and gloves, as well as mylar blankets, rain ponchos, hand warmers and hoodies.

Donations can be dropped off at Treasure House (10202 Coldwater Rd.) during regular donation center hours, or our downtown location (404 E. Washington Blvd.)

1. how the vision has evolved since he joined The Rescue Mission 3 years ago
2. Third-floor conceptualization
3. Public-phase fundraising to add beds
4. Third floor completion by January 2027
