“Our banquets are designed for our guests to leave their burdens at the door. They can enjoy a hot meal and conversation, and leave with a blanket and coat. We have loyal volunteers who are ready to sit down and listen. Guests who want it can receive prayer. For guests who are ready for a change, we get them connected with services that can help, be it ours or others in the community.” – Central Coast Rescue Mission, December 20, 2022
