"Savannah's Five Star Gospel Rescue Mission"
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

The ASSOCIATION OF PAROLING AUTHORITIES INTERNATIONAL (APAI) presented the Old Savannah City Mission its “Community Service Award” in recognition of its FRESH START PROGRAM. The Mission’s nomination came from the Georgia Department of Corrections.

Mission Receives An Award
|
Fresh Start is a year long residential transitional program with high
standards, strong boundaries and clear direction. It is designed to
serve men and women who while incarcerated come to faith in Christ
and genuinely desire a fresh start in life. The program functions as a
bridge from incarceration to re-incorporation. Its goal is for ex-offenders
and community…never to return to prison. A key factor to the program’s
success is that each ex-offender is assigned a mentor, a life coach.
The Association of Paroling Authorities (APAI) began in the early 1970s
as a group of international colleagues in the field of parole. They
shared a strong interest in discussing best practices and current
issues surrounding early release, reentry into the community and public
safety. For more information on APAI, please visit their website (http:
