Old Savannah City Mission

2414 Bull Street
Savannah, GA

"Savannah's Five Star Gospel Rescue Mission"

Day of Great Thanksgiving

On Saturday, November 21,
2009 Old Savannah City
Mission (OSCM) celebrated
its Eleventh Annual Day of
Great Thanksgiving by
serving 5,278 delicious
smoked turkey dinners. Over
500 volunteers prepared,
served and delivered these
meals. Many people know
about the Mission for this
once a year event; however it
is much more than a
one-event operation. And

while thisarticle provides the reader with more insight into the history and
ministries of the Mission, a personal visit to the Mission will inspire and
motivate many to get personally involved.

EASTER EVE WITH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS

The day was incredibly balmy and bright. A gentle breeze carried the
music across and down the street. Over 200 friends and neighbors, i.e.
homeless, volunteers and students assembled in the parking lot on the
south side of the Mission. Huxsie Scott’s voice rang out inspiring and
clear as she sang “Run to the Mercy Seat.” The Good News of the
Resurrection focused on its rock bed purpose…the declaration of God’s
redeeming love...read more

NO LONGER $1.79...NOW $2.05

Since the birth of Old Savannah City Mission in 1997, we have provided
hundred of thousands of meals. We calculated their costs at $1.79. So
many faithful donors have given with that cost in mind. Now reality
requires us to increase our costs to $2.05 per meal.

Please remember, Old Savannah City Mission is privately funded. It
does not request or receive any public funds. It depends upon people of
goodwill who genuinely care about the less fortunate right here in our
community. Increasing numbers of people are coming to the Mission for
help. Everyone is facing economic challenges. It’s a serious challenge
for the Mission, especially during this season of the year. The Mission
must ramp up its fund raising efforts. Since May donations have been
decreasing in sync with the increasing need for services.

Reverend Jim Lewis is strongly encouraging people of goodwill to step
up to the plate NOW and help the Mission feed the hungry and homeless
in our community. Here’s what your donation can do:

$22.50 will provide 10 meals
$41.00 will provide 20 meals
$65.50 will provide 30 meals
$82.00 will provide 40 meals
$102.50 will provide 50 meals
$205.00 will provide 100 meals
$410.00 will provide 200 meals

We need your help!

Many times people ask me “How can I help the Old Savannah
City Mission?” with the many community programs in which
we are involved. Well we need you to come visit the Mission
and find out the answer to that question. We will not be
asking you for a contribution, but because you are a friend of
the Mission we want the opportunity to:

Give you a first hand look at what we are doing.

Give you an update on our plans for the future

Ask you to partner with us in an effort to tell this story across
our community

The Services that we provide include feeding the hungry,
providing shelter for the homeless, rehabilitating the addict
and restoring the ex-offender. You are probably aware of the
“DAY OF GREAT THANKSGIVING” that we conduct each
year feeding over 4000 needy and hungry citizens in
Forsythe Park . This is just a sample of what we do every
day….and we do this without any tax dollars through the
generosity of civic minded citizens, businesses and
foundations.

Because the economy is struggling, many more of our
citizens, less fortunate than most of us, are in need of our
help this year and we need to be in a position to respond.
We will be conducting a Challenge event to help raise the
funds necessary to provide for these services. Right now we
need an hour of your time and I invite you to come to the
mission for a tour, a short briefing combined with a bite of
lunch or dinner at one of the following times:

12:30 – 1:30(noon)   Monday, Feb. 2; Wed. Feb. 4;
        Friday, Feb 6; Monday, Feb. 9

8:00 – 9:00 pm          Tuesday, Feb. 3, Thursday, Feb 5

We know that you will want to help when you hear what we
are doing. Please take a look at your calendar NOW and
give me a call at (912-655-5118) and let me know when you
can make it. I look forward to greeting you and hosting this
briefing.

Sincerely,
Jim Lewis
