It’s Waterfront Rescue Mission’s 73rd annual Christmas Banquet for our homeless neighbors! The Waterfront Rescue Mission team is happy to return to a feast, after the past two years of having modified feedings, impacted by COVID protocols.
The team anticipate providing thousands of meals during Christmas week. Those in the Pensacola and Mobile communities who are living homeless, or who might be hungry and alone, are invited to join us for lunch on December 23 at the Pensacola and Mobile campuses. Note this is not on Christmas Day as it has commonly been in past years.

Friday, December 23, 11 a.m.– Feast at the Mission, with a full Christmas spread: ham, veggies, and dessert.
