Frederick Rescue mission

The Frederick Rescue Mission is a Christ-centered ministry providing residential recovery programs to the homeless or chemically addicted, food to the hungry, clothing and furniture to the needy, and connection within our community through relationships.

Since 1964, the Mission has served thousands of our neighbors in need, providing life-changing programs and services. As the largest provider of warm, nutritious meals to the homeless and hungry, the Mission serves breakfast and lunch 365 days a year to an average of 250 people daily. The Mission also distributes free groceries, clothing, and furniture, and offers outreach events and services to those most in need in our community. Lastly, the Mission is home to Beacon House, Frederick's largest transitional shelter for men battling life-damaging addictions and homelessness.

Empty Bowls

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.
