Winchester Rescue Mission
Publisher/HostWinchester Rescue Mission
Conversations on a Bench The event that WRM started has now become a national event involving organizations around the country! On October 9 – 10, rescue missions, recovery centers, outreach groups, and other life transformation ministries across North America will host a 24-hour livestream of honest, humanizing conversations about homelessness, addiction, and mental health. Rain or shine, ministry leaders will listen as neighbors, pastors, and community members share their stories and spark change.
Here in Winchester, we will be hosting the event out in front of our new facility, where our CEO Lauren Clouse will once again take a bench for 24 hours to have these important conversations with anyone willing to sit down and chat. City officials, local business leaders, community organizers, public servants, and so many more will be joining us during this time and we want you to as well. Whether you watch online, come down and watch in person, or sit down on the bench to chat, we want to see you and here from you. Get ready to join the conversation!
