room for them.

DayCenter-
|
|
In 2003 and 2004 the parks,
sidewalks, and library in the downtown area were playing host to
hundreds of homeless people. The city was beginning to worry
about a negative image and approached the Mission for a solution.
Surveys conducted by the Mission revealed that many of its clients
lack transportation, making it nearly impossible to efficiently find
the resources needed.
The Panama City Rescue Mission
responded with a one-stop-center to bring resources to the centrally
located clients. Through our partnership with local human service
agencies we provide a
range of needed services at one location. The day center also gives the opportunity
to minister to these clients to better assist them in changing their lives. We
provide services to an average of 80 people per day.
