Helping Hand Rescue Mission

Sunday was a beautiful mess in Philly, one man slushed to the Helping Hand Mission with a desperate request as he walked in, “Socks.” We don’t take for granted that we have neighbors, friends, volunteers, and donors that have kept us open for 125+ years. Our food pantry, church, clothing closet, meals, and sock basket are an important part of the community, and Sunday was a solid reminder of the importance of the work.

There will be a Homegoing Service for Pastor Garrett Marsh this Saturday at the Mission, 11am.

Pastor Garrett was a bold, loving, sacrificial, faithful member of the Helping Hand Rescue Mission and the Lead Pastor of the Christ Community Bible Church. Pastor Garrett was relentlessly hopeful, contagiously positive, and brought dynamic teaching and musical gifts into the community. Pastor Garrett was dedicated to the Church, passionate about his family, and joyfully filled many rooms.
