Spring has come to Northwest Florida and Panama City Beach. Thousands of young people swamp to the sandy-white beaches to gorge in the sun and fun. Let's not forget the SPF and skimpy bathing suits during the day. And at night, there's always Club LaVela, right?
However, several groups of teens and young 20-somethings seek the Panama City Rescue Mission in search for a more meaningful and spiritual vacation from books and teachers. They come not only for the balmy weather, but for something deeper than which will affect their skin.
They're on a mission from God to help others in need.
Thankfully, the Mission has a place for these youngsters. With a formidable volunteer program, we're able to place groups in various spots to make a mark. There are opportunities all year long--not just at Thanksgiving.
From mowing the lawn at Bethel Village, to sorting out the food pantry that got disorganized from collections through the many massive food drives over the winter months. These kids are doing and making a difference. After all, with the increase in demand for services over the winter, Mission staff is worn out from all the work we put in. Any help is welcome. So, to the breakers, we say thank you! Please keep them coming.
And don't forget the SPF.
