Participants of a previous Great Day of Thanksgiving
Our community is
experiencing a demographic
shift fueled by these tough
times. Repossessed homes,
unemployment and lost sav
ings are driving more and
more people through the
doors of the Old Savannah
City Mission. This shift is
evidenced in a strong up-tick
in two basic essentials, food
and shelter. Our current meal
services are up 20% YTD
compared to 2008. And,
donations are down 19%. The
need for shelter beds is equal
ly strong. It is time for some
one to do something! The
Mission is doing something
every day. And, during the
National Hunger and
Homelessness Awareness
Week, November 15 - 21,
2009, the Mission will pull
out all stops to drive home
the harsh predicament of an
increasing number of our
friends and neighbors.
Activities scheduled for
the National Hunger and
Homelessness Awareness
Week: Lunch Time and
Evening Tours... the
Mission's doors will be open
throughout the week for those
who want to see the facilities,
learn how the Mission pro
