Thank you to all the lovely ladies who joined us for our annual tea! This beloved tradition brings together supporters and neighbors for a purpose far beyond tea and treats. The 2026 Ladies Tea offered guests a time of fellowship and fundraising — complete with a silent auction, a fantastic guest speaker, and a love offering to support the Mission. Please enjoy the gallery of photos from this year's event at https://www.westminsterrescuemission.org/2026teagallery/

Cheers!

We're proud to announce the Carroll County Peer Workforce Program, launching with support from the RAMP Program. This initiative is designed to help people in recovery right here in Carroll County grow their skills, earn recognized credentials, and build lasting careers.

Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just want to see your community thrive — this is big news. Share this with someone who needs to see it.
