HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, June 7, 2022) – Help for those who need a helping hand is the focus of a golfing fundraiser today.
Gateway Mission’s annual golf event is at the Ravines Golf Club near Saugatuck, with each participant having a goal of generating $2,000, which would provide 975 meals and 33 nights of shelter at the women & children’s facility on Fairbanks Avenue and the men’s shelter on River Avenue. The recent rebranding of the Holland Rescue Mission is more than just a name change, according to Chief Operations Officer Steve Rusticus, who said on “WHTC Talk of the Town” during a Monday appearance:
“We wanted the name to reflect more of where we see the ministry going in the future. We really want to be a ‘gateway’ for change in people’s lives – that place in which you step over and things are a bit different. It really reflects the reality of the last few years, and there are some things in the making about additional services, additional ministries, and additional social or business enterprises. While it’s certainly a word change, it’s more than just semantics.”
Much of Gateway’s ongoing financial support comes through its store and auto donation/detailing facility off of East 24th Street, and an online bookstore linked on its website.
