Teri Kwiatek, Outreach Coordinator

This is Teri's testimony from Frederick Rescue Mission's 60th Annual Banquet, May 30, 2024.
Teri met Ella, a nursing student at Frederick Community College, in the Mission’s dining hall. She is a single mother with three kids, and her youngest has special needs that require extensive medical attention. The Mission provides groceries that allow her to keep food on the table and hot lunches in the dining hall, where she enjoys meals with her kids.
Everyone who comes to the Mission has a story, and some, like Ella, are just trying to survive until the next paycheck. Teri gets to tell them that God works in our lives and in all situations. “It’s not only about the food and the services; it’s about introducing them to God, who absolutely loves them.” Thanks to you, we can give hope to people who come through our doors.
