Local Group of Volunteers ‘Fork Up’ Support for Winchester Rescue Mission

Oct. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- Winchester, Virginia (October 8, 2012)-A group of area women have created a fundraiser event to benefit Winchester Rescue Mission on November 3rd to recognize National Hunger and Homelessness Month. ‘Men on A Mission-Cook’ is a unique tasting event where chefs bring samplings of their culinary dishes to share with guests. Mocktails will be served as well.  First Presbyterian Church will open their Fellowship Hall doors at 5pm. Tickets will be available at the door or are recommended to be purchased in advance. Tickets are available for $25.00 each at First Presbyterian Church or contact smiden@comcast.net .

All proceeds will benefit Winchester Rescue Mission (WRM), located on North Cameron Street. The planning team is a collection of women, inspired by the reality of homelessness in their own area. Winchester Rescue Mission began serving men in Winchester in 1973, seeking to provide a place for men to receive “soup, soap and salvation”. WRM ministry has expanded to meet the needs of these men in a variety of ways.

Men on A Mission Planning Team members include:  Stacey Iden, Teresa Hoffman, Avery Ramspeck, Jessica Swiger, Vicki Laird, Jennifer Volkmann, Molly Magness and Lisa Jacobs. Sponsorships are welcome, contact: jvolkmann_99@yahoo.com  Visit facebook.com/menonamissionevent for more information.
