Rescue Mission begins shelter operations and first evening meal services at new residence center

Fresh off yesterday’s successful dedication ceremony and open house for the new Residence Center at 500 East Walnut Street, the Evansville Rescue Mission will be opening its doors today to the individuals it daily serves—the Tri-State’s homeless and less fortunate—on day two of what Mayor Lloyd Winnecke has declared “Evansville Rescue Mission Week”.

With the assistance of Christian Fellowship Church, homeless guests who have resided in the Mission’s former shelter address, 300 S.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., will begin making the half-mile move to their new temporary home today.
