Review for Evansville Rescue Mission Inc, Evansville, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

There are so many wonderful things to say about this organization that I'm certain there isn't enough space in this box to express them. So let me just very briefly say that as an ex-felon newly released from prison after having served ten straight years that this organization holds true to it's name in that I was truly "rescued." While I had imagined a homeless shelter that would be dark and cold, unsanitary, packed with unsightly drunkards, thieves, drug addicts, and uncaring staff, I was staggered by the great force of love and compassion I met upon stepping through the doors. The place was unbelievably clean and modern, with flat screen televisions and pleasant and inspiring artwork adorning the walls. I felt as if I had entered a sanctuary. The atmosphere moved me from dread of the future to new hope and confidence. I no longer worry about the future as I have no doubt about the genuineness of the people who make the Evansville Rescue Mission possible because I experience it daily. By Anthony L. Smith
