This Monday, we’re featuring a food drive that will support nearly 1,000 men experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n
The Allentown Rescue Mission is holding its Thanks for Giving food drive next Saturday, November 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
The Mission will be collecting non-perishable food and cleaning supplies.<\/p>\n
That day, it’ll also be partnering with Josh Early Candies. Donations can be made or dropped off at Josh Early Candies in both Allentown and Bethlehem.<\/p>\n
Boxing legend and Lehigh Valley native Larry Holmes will greet and take pictures with donors, while radio host Mike Mittman will be broadcasting from the Allentown location.<\/p>\n
Thanks to some generous donors, the mission will host a Meal Match Challenge. Every dollar donated to the challenge this November will be matched, doubling the impact your donation will have.<\/p>\n
“But there is a lot more happening under this roof than just emergency shelter. You know, it’s our goal really to spend time with the men to take care of their needs, but to also hopefully instill some. Some skills in them. Give them some. Some work training, some. Some real, hopefully, like I said, life skills, you know, even counseling and whatever’s really needed to get people back on their feet,” said David McKee with the Allentown Resue Mission.<\/p>\n
