The Building Hope Campaign will raise funds for our faith-based Hope for Men & Hope for Women programs. These funds will help build facilities to house 32 men and 20 women in our programs, along with a chapel and classrooms. Since its launch in June, this campaign has seen an outpouring of generosity from the community. We will continue to provide updates on the status of our Building Hope Campaign. Thank you for supporting God's work through the Mission.
So far in 2019, the Merced County Rescue Mission has helped 103 men and women find independent housing in the community upon completing our programs. 103!!! The waiting list is growing for our Hope for Men and Hope for Women programs, as our current capacity for each is 10 and participants remain in the program for three months to a year. Mission programs are currently operated in 2 homes owned by the Mission, 10 rented homes, and one rented office throughout Merced.
A new campus will allow us to expand our capacity for Hope for Men from 10 to 32 and our capacity for Hope for Women from 10 to 20 to better meet the needs in our community. For our other buildings on the new campus we are pursuing other avenues for funding.
