If you want to make a difference this opportunity is for you!!!!
The Lexington Rescue Mission is dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency and live productive and meaningful lives. Through the Reentry Program, we ensure that ex-offenders have adequate support to secure housing and ultimately are able to make a smooth transition back into the community. We work through a Christ-centered ministry, and we listen to our clients with open ears, arms, and hearts.
We are seeking mentors and volunteer teachers for our reentry program. If you give just 1-2 hours weekly you can make a difference. Please go to our website for a look at what we do and who we are. You can also set up a tour of our facility.
Feel free to contact Yvette Davis for further information.
