ESU's November luncheon meeting featured Carolyn Hendrickson, the Senior Philanthropy Officer for the Rescue Mssion Alliance.  Ms. Hendrickson spoke about the history, mission, and programs of the Rescue Mission, a local organization serving local citizens in need.  It provides meals (over 700 people a day are served);  housing (both temporary and permanent shelter); and educational programs.  Its Thrifty Shopper stores provided 100,000 articles of clothing to families in need last year, while also generating  60% of the Rescue Mission's annual budget from sales to the public and serving as the #1 recycler in Onondaga County.
