At Bethesda, love sometimes looks like laundry. ❤️

Every day, approximately 100 men call Bethesda Mission’s Men’s Shelter home. Some arrive carrying everything they own in a single bag.

One of the first ways we can care for them is remarkably simple: we wash their clothes.

A clean shirt, fresh socks and freshly washed belongings can help restore dignity and remind a man that he is seen and valued.

Right now, we need a new commercial dryer to keep those Loads of Love going. Our goal is $11,200.

Will you help?

A Legacy of Caring

This week, we were honored to welcome Dilip Patel, Damu Patel, and Navnit (Brian) Zaver from the Harrisburg Gujarati Association of Central Pennsylvania to Bethesda Mission for a special plaque dedication in memory of Naranbhai Patel.

The plaque, displayed at our Medical Clinic, recognizes Naranbhai and the generous gift of $10,000 given in his memory to help provide medical care to those we serve.

We are grateful to the Harrisburg Gujarati Association of Central Pennsylvania for choosing to honor Naranbhai in such a meaningful way. His name and legacy will continue to be part of the care provided at Bethesda Mission for years to come.

Hard Work. Big Goals. A Bright Future.

Dominique Harper has a goal: a career in nursing. As a guest at Bethesda Mission’s Women’s Mission, she is taking steps toward that goal through HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College’s Allied Health program.

Recently, Dominique received a laptop from the BAM (Be A Mensch) Fund to help support her education. Women’s Mission Director, Beverly Treat, had the privilege of presenting it to her at HACC.

The BAM Fund was created by Mitchell and Cindy Mensch in honor of their mother, Phyllis Clark, who dedicated countless hours to helping survivors of domestic abuse and their children.

Along with the laptop, Mitchell and Cindy sent Dominique a personal letter recognizing the progress she has made and encouraging her as she continues her education and works toward her career goals.

Congratulations, Dominique! We’re excited to see where your hard work and determination take you.

The Aprons Were On!

Last week our Administrative Team traded the office for the kitchen and prepared and served lunch for the guests and staff at Bethesda Mission's Women's Mission.

There was plenty of cooking, serving, laughing and judging by the photos, George may have found a new calling!

We had a great time spending the afternoon together and serving the women and children at the Mission.

Come See What It Means to Inspire Hope

We hear it all the time after someone tours Bethesda Mission: “I had no idea you did all of this.”

There is so much happening every day at Bethesda Mission that can be hard to understand until you see it firsthand. A tour is an opportunity to see our facilities, learn about our programs, and better understand how we serve men, women, and children throughout the Harrisburg area.

Yesterday, we enjoyed welcoming Alyssa Shriner from PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Hampden, Josh Flinchbaugh and Tiffany Heist from Blue Mountain Thrift Store, John Grayshaw from Dauphin County Library System, and Corey Jerry from the Keller House and Realtor & networking group

Thank you for spending part of your day with us!

Want to see it for yourself? Come see what it means to Inspire Hope. Email Barb Guarente at [email protected] to schedule a tour.

Friday was Jackson's last day as a summer intern at Bethesda Mission's Men's Mission.

Over the summer, he became a big part of the Men's Mission community. This photo is a beautiful reminder of the relationships that were built along the way.

Thank you, Jackson, for spending your summer with us. We pray God's blessings on you as he heads back to Southeastern University.

Thank You, Jackson!
