Have you ever said to yourself,

“I just can’t do this thing alone, I need some help?”

There is certainly truth in the adages…many hands make the work light and the more the merrier. Goals are accomplished quicker, easier, and usually with greater results…when people who share a similar passion come together to accomplish a common goal.

The importance of PARTNERSHIPS is becoming increasingly valuable at Gospel Rescue Mission. As we continue to go “outside our walls” and into our community with help and hope even more so we need to partner with businesses, social service agencies, and most of all the churches and the Christian community.

Here are just a few of the ways we’ve formed partnerships in the past several years:

• Our Community Ministries Department has partnered with several churches, helping the churches reach out to their neighbors with our resources of food and clothing.

• GRM staff members are actively involved in several city-wide coalitions including the Tucson Planning Council for the Homeless, the faith based subcommittee of the Meth Free Alliance, the Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness, the CPSA Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder committee, the faith based sub-committee of the Workforce Investment Board…naming just a few.

• Churches have partnered with us on various Mission projects such as Adopt-A-Room at our Women’s Center (for remodeling and painting), Neighborhood Outreach Projects (fixing up homes of indigent neighbors in South Tucson), Saturday Outreach (weekly Bilingual Chapel service and Kid’s Club activities and Good Shepherd), etc.

• Individuals are partnering with us as chapel speakers, counselors, mentors, case managers, teachers, discipleship instructors, and maintenance technicians.

• The professional community is partnering with us to provide much needed services such as free dental and legal assistance and businesses are helping through donations of goods, services, and financial support.

Bottom line is that ALL parties get BLESSED when we partner together. On page 4 is an excerpt from a letter we received from an advocate at a women’s sexual assault agency that expresses how well partnerships work.

Please consider how YOU, your business, your church or your civic group would like to partner with the Mission…as TOGETHER…we reach out to the working poor and the homeless in our community with help, hope, and love.
