rome rescue mission

When you think of Thanksgiving you can't help but think about turkey. It's also a day to spend time with family. Some people in our local community don't have family or food for this holiday and that is why there are organizations like the Rome Rescue Mission. A local Boy Scouts Troop through a generous alumni donation was able to donate over 40 birds, but they are still in need of more.

Over 300 coats and hundreds of other winter accessories will go to needy Mohawk Valley residents this year.

The Rome Rescue Mission is asking Central New York for help with providing Holiday meals to those less fortunate.  The Mission is in need of 500 Turkeys this Thanksgiving. Here's other food items they are in need of, and how to help.

This fun juggling act with sticks is quite challenging, and extremely addictive!

You've heard of the Rome Rescue Mission, and you probably know their saying 'A hand up, not a handout,' but have you ever wondered what they're really about?

The Rome Rescue Mission has been helping people in our community for years, but now they're looking to you so they can continue their calling.

Have you heard? Lite 98.7 is on a Million Penny Mission. That's right we're looking to raise 1 million pennies to help out those at the Utica and Rome Rescue Missions. If you're not sure where to look for loose change this article may help you out!

A penny may be almost insignificant to you. You likely think very little if you see a penny on the ground or mindlessly leave a few in the take-a-penny/leave-a-penny tray when you're shopping. But imagine the power of one million pennies and the support it could give the Rescue Missions of Rome and Utica this holiday season. Join us in our quest, our Million Penny Mission.

Today is the day The Rome Rescue Mission is picking up your donations for their Thanksgiving Food Drive. Otherwise, please drop off items at 280 East Dominic Street in Rome as the need is much greater this year.
