About Our Project

• For our project, we visited the Capital City
  Rescue Mission in Albany. We scheduled an
  interview and tour with the Director of
  Development, Susan Jones. It was overall very
  rewarding to find out how those less fortunate
  are helped in our community by people who care.

The BeginningOf Our Tour

• At the start of our tour, Mrs. Jones took us to a
  room of beds for those who come in off of the
  streets for a place to stay. She also explained
  to us the rules for room and board at the Capital
  City Rescue Mission.

Our Next Stop

• After visiting the sleeping facilities, Mrs.
  Jones brought us to the health room of the Rescue
  Mission. Here, she introduced us to the health
  staff. Surprisingly, one of the staff members
  introduced was previously part of a nine-month
  residential plan that the mission offers. He now
  lives there full-time.

Long-Term Housing Program

• For the next part of our project, Mrs. Jones took
  us up to the second floor to see the long-term
  housing bedroom. On this floor, there are two
  different programs Nine-Month and Three-Month.
  These men stay here in exchange for work or staff
  service.

Clothing Department

• Mrs. Jones then brought us to the building where
  they sort and sell donated clothing and other
  items. In the front of a building was a store
  similar to the Salvation Army.
• Clothes that are not in season or not in good
  condition are compacted into cubes and sold by
  weight to 3rd world countries to raise money for
  the mission.

  restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and
  redeemed never throw out anyone.
