REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 10, 2015 <br />was another issue for a local business developer. He ended up in a situation that was less than <br />desirable for himself.

The Hope Rescue Mission <br />was established 60 years ago. Then came a center for the homeless which was bigger and it <br />became a widely recognized model for the shelters across the country. It has been around for 26 <br />years. Hope Ministries formerly Hope Rescue Mission holds 35 men, 16 women, and 18 <br />families with children.
