The Rescue Mission would like to thank the County Department of Education for once again donating hundreds of shoe boxes filled with toys for needy children. These will be distributed at our Christmas Eve Banquet by Santa Claus at the American Legion Hall on Dec. 24th, 10am-12pm.

The Mission still needs more toys. If you're able to donate towards our Holiday Toy Drive, any donations are appreciated! We're collecting new, unwrapped toys for ages 0-13 now through Dec. 24th. Please drop off donations at our office, 644 W 20th St., Merced.
