Hope Rescue Mission

In loving memory of Mel...

Melvin was a baker and a cook for 30 years. He lived through a horrible season in his life that left him in a place to choose homelessness. Melvin, an amazing man who’s smile and joy was always contagious to all those he met along the way. He sought help through Hope Rescue Mission in his time of need.
