On April 14^th the Rescue Mission of Middle Georgia is anticipating providing 1,000 meals to the homeless and homebound in our community in honor of Good Friday.  Volunteers will deliver over 700 meals directly to people who are unable to get to a Good Friday celebration.  An additional 300 meals will be served inside the Mission to homeless and less fortunate residents of Macon. 

Good Friday is a crucial day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of the world. Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection of Jesus to be the decisive turning point for all creation. 

This year 40 hams, 320 pounds of Mac-n-Cheese, 240 pounds of sweet potatoes, 16 trays of green beans and 1,000 rolls will be served.   A traditional feast with all the trimmings will be provided as a sit down dinner or pre-arranged delivery option to the elderly and disabled.  The seated holiday meal will be served starting at 11:30 a.m. on Friday April 14, 2017 at the Rescue Mission located at 774 Hazel Street (corner of Hazel & First Street) in downtown Macon.

“The Mission is blessed to be able to provide this holiday meal to our community.  We are honored to serve many who would not have a chance to have a warm home cooked meal and offer a time for fellowship and celebration of Jesus Christ.  We are also thankful to our volunteers who help us deliver and serve the meal, we cannot do what we do without the assistance of this wonderful community.” said Pat Chastian, President/CEO of the Rescue Mission of Middle Georgia.
