Young Gardeners visit Watson's Nursery

Young Gardeners of the Tacoma Rescue Mission went on a field trip to Watson's to pick up supplies for our garden project. Thanks to Watson's Greenhouse and Nursery, we were able to pick up some tomatoes starts and various flowers that the youth individually chose!

TRM Young Gardeners

We are excited for this years garden! We would not have been to do this without the partnerships of Master Gardeners, Gray Lumber, SoundGRO and Watson's Nursery. Thank you!! The Tacoma Rescue Mission Young Gardeners program aims for youth to explore and learn about basic horticulture, gardening, and community building. Stay tuned for updates on our garden!!

Youth Interviews on Homelessness

Watch and listen to two youth that have experienced being homeless. These two young ladies have been a part of the Tacoma Rescue Mission Youth Program for more than two years.

Our Faces Tell Stories

The Tacoma Rescue Mission participated in the community quilting event at the Tacoma Art Museum. Americorp/Tyler Square staff, Sara Herbrand, beautifully put together this blanket to represent the faces and programs throughout the Mission. Thank you Sara and all the TRM staff that helped put together the blanket!!

Camp Jonah Winter Snow Camp!!!

The Middle Schoolers of the Tacoma Rescue Mission journeyed to Trout Lake Washington to play in the snow, bond as a group, and learn about how God is the light. While at the camp the kids had a snow ball fight, sledded down a huge hill, and rode on snowmobiles. For many it was the most snow they had ever seen. The teens bonded with group games, a biblical scavenger hunt, and a fun filled party to end the great weekend. The theme of the weekend was Flame: how Jesus is like a flame providing comfort, light, purifying, and ridding the world of darkness. Overall, the weekend was success with fun, new friends, and many seeds planted in their hearts.

Picha's Pumpkin Patch

Thank you Picha's Farm for hosting us for the second year in a row. We are grateful that each child received a pumpkin and free admission through the corn maze. Here are some pictures from our experience. And by the way...most of the kids gave their pumpkins names!
