I don`t know whether you donate to [The Chattanooga Rescue Mission] located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but if you do then those charitable donations are not properly being used. Their sleeping quarters are infested with bed bugs, they claim to be a Christian organization however they have a night employee who will kick you out for days, or even longer if your bed isn`t made military style, and I don`t know how others feel about that, but in my own opinion a Christian doesn`t throw a homeless person out on the street for having not made their bed perfectly, there`s black mold growing in many high traffic areas which includes the bathroom facilities, often times you can`t even recognize what they feed the occupants nor is it considered daily nutritional value, they have room temperature water including the water fountain which doesn`t actually chill the water which means when they send the homeless occupants out everyday in literally one hundred degrees Fahrenheit these homeless hot occupants some who are over 60 years old, or more in age are at health risks when they arrive back in the shelter after a whole day in the in these extreme temps in the evening hours because they do not provide cold drinking water to properly cool these individuals instead theirs undesirable faucet, or fountain water which nobody will drink because it`s not cool, or hot coffee, the upper floors I understand aren`t even habitable.

In 2010 as part of a class assignment, I went to the Chattanooga Rescue Mission for a tour and to sit in on a chapel service led by the Director of Women's Ministry. It was an awesome experience that opened my eyes to the needs of these ladies who rely on the Chattanooga Rescue Mission. As a result of that tour, I now go to the mission on a monthly basis to speak to these ladies in their chapel service. It has been a very rewarding experience for me personally and I hope to the ladies with whom I interact with at the mission.
