LAST WEEK.... by Cheryl Silvestrini
Alan Thornton, Chief Executive Officer of the Rescue Mission, spoke about the various services provided by the Rescue Mission. He also shared some success stories of the clients they serve. Under Alan’s leadership, the Rescue Mission provides services in Syracuse, Auburn, Binghamton, and Ithaca. Alan explained that the Syracuse Rescue Mission is one of the oldest. Their campus has an emergency shelter, a day center, serves 3 meals a day, and on any given night there are over 250 men sleeping under their roof. Alan has dedicated his career to serving the most vulnerable members of our community, and continuously strives to share hope, end hunger and homelessness, change lives, and strengthen communities – one person at a time. Alan welcomes volunteers, and offered to give tours of the Syracuse Rescue Mission to our members.
