Merced County Rescue Mission has given me the opportunity to serve God by helping others. Between picking up donations from Covenant Living and Off Center Thrift, my husband and I can deliver a pickup of household items to the Merced Mission every month.

Seeing the success of all the programs, especially the Village of Hope and the independent housing, keeps me volunteering. It’s a meaningful experience giving back to our community. Pastor Bruce’s love for serving others has been an inspiration to me.
