49 city blocks. 2,500 people. 13 working toilets.
Widespread drug abuse. Rampant disease. Brutal assaults.
Above all: hopelessness. Despair.
The facts of living on Skid Row are grim.
No matter what you've read, nothing prepares you for the harsh reality of daily life on these streets.
Please watch and take a walk with Rev. Andy Bales through the streets of Skid Row, and consider how you might be able to help the precious souls who currently call these streets "home."
Right now, your gift of support is even more urgent as we enter into the summer months when giving to Union Rescue Mission drops, sometimes as much as 50%. Yet the need is constant, and the work of rescuing men, women, children, and families from the streets never slows down.
Give by June 30 to transform TWICE as many lives.
Help todayWhen you give today, a Matching Challenge will automatically DOUBLE your gift — up to $500,000 — to feed, shelter, and care for neighbors experiencing homelessness on Skid Row.
The match couldn't have come at a better time.
In the summer, we provide critical care for neighbors experiencing homelessness, including water bottles for hot days, insect repellent, and cool showers. And we offer safe shelter to as many people as we can to get them off the dangerous streets.
But please hurry and give now, or by June 30 at the latest, to double your gift.
Lives are at stake this summer, and your gift is needed now more than ever.
This Easter, be a part of what God is doing to transform lives and bring hope back to the streets of Los Angeles.
Your support will help hurting men, women, children, and families hear the Easter message of God's incredible love and claim the promise of a brand-new life.
Deadline to give: June 30
