On Good Friday, April 18, the Miami Rescue Mission | Broward Outreach Centers will hold their annual “Thanksgiving on Good Friday” Block Party for the homeless and hungry families of South Florida. The Theme is “HEALING”. Along with a sit down Thanksgiving meal there is an emphasis on Foot Care. Volunteers with wash the feet of the homeless and needy and Barry Podiatry Students will give foot care.

Over 500 volunteers will provide over 2,500 Thanksgiving meals. Those in attendance will be treated to haircuts and showers along with the foot care. Also live entertainment including a Passion Play will be enacted by residents of the Mission. Mission Hope purple bags filled with hygiene products will be distributed to all guests. Over 500 Easter Baskets will be distributed between the 3 campuses to children at-risk in our centers and those in attendance. There is a special emphasis also just for children. Adults and children alike will feel important and feel the love of God.

Rev. Ronald Brummitt, President of the Miami Rescue Mission/ Broward Outreach Centers said of the upcoming outreach, “It is a privilege and a blessing during the Easter/Passover Season to be able to help provide meals and to help those in our community who need it the most. We want our homeless and needy families to know that they are not forgotten and that we love them, as well as,[we] thank all of our donors and volunteers who help us make this wonderful day an awesome celebration for those that otherwise would have nothing, or very little for the Easter/Passover Season.”
