Ministry Overview
Rescue Mission is a non-profit Christian organization which exists "to share Christ's love and provide biblically-based services that meet the spiritual and practical needs of the poor and homeless of central New York."

Costs
$215 per person
This cost is based on a team of 8 students and covers housing, meals, and transportation.
You can ask your church or youth group to help support your costs but, unfortunately, they will NOT be able to receive a tax-deductible receipt. Funds received over and above the support needed by a team member are non-refundable and will be considered overage. Overage will be put directly into the team fund as a whole.
Dates
You will leave campus Saturday, February 28 at 8:00 a.m. and return Saturday evening, March 7.
