UNDATED (WHTC)- No surprise that the difficult cold conditions on the lakeshore have increased the need for Holland’s Rescue Mission shelter. The local respite, able to accomodate up to 80 men, has been maxed as of late, due mostly to the drop in temperatures. Steve Wing is the Rescue Mission Director and has been forced to add extra cots and mattresses on the floor of his facility to handle the demand.
Many inhabitants of the rescue mission have experienced job loss as well as losing their housing situations. Wing even receives requests for housing availability from all over the state of Michigan. The mission welcomes all donations and volunteers, and should you be able to help you can contact Volunteer Director Martha Wing at 616-928-3407
