Men’s Night at

Biltmore Church:

A Night of Worship and Generosity

Friday night was a special and meaningful evening for many of the men in our recovery program and overnight shelter. They were invited to attend Men’s Night at Biltmore Church, where they joined two thousand other men for a powerful time of worship and encouragement.

The evening included inspiring messages from guest speakers and a chance for the men we serve to connect with a community of faith that truly cares about them. For many of our residents, opportunities like this are deeply meaningful, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and supported as they continue their journey of recovery and restoration.

As part of the event, Biltmore Church also hosted a jean drive to support our clothing closet, one of our greatest ongoing needs. We were incredibly blessed by the outpouring of generosity as men brought both new and gently used jeans to donate. Jeans are one of the most requested items at the Mission because they are durable, long-lasting, and practical for everyday wear.

Thanks to our partnership with Country Casuals Clothing and KEY Apparel, we are also able to purchase additional jeans at a significant discount. This allows your support to go even further, helping us keep this essential item stocked throughout the year.

Your generosity makes a real difference. Donations toward our clothing closet help ensure that every man and woman who walks through our doors has access to clothing that is comfortable, durable, and dignified.

We are so grateful for partnerships like this and for a community that continues to stand beside the people we serve.

Caring for Our Neighbors, One Step at a Time

For many of our neighbors experiencing homelessness, something as simple as healthy feet can make a life-changing difference.

Walking is often the primary way individuals travel to find food, shelter, work, and support services. When someone is on their feet every day, small foot issues can quickly become painful and sometimes serious health problems without proper care.

That’s why this April, Western Carolina Rescue Ministries will host our annual Good Friday Walk Humbly Foot Care Clinic. This special outreach is made possible through our partnership with AdventHealth, Appalachian Mountain Health, and a wonderful group of volunteers who give their time and talents to serve our community.

During the clinic, medical professionals and volunteers will provide basic foot care while our team offers hygiene support, new shoes, socks, and other essential supplies. Guests will also have the opportunity to wash their feet and receive clean items that help protect and care for tired, worn feet.

While it may seem like a small act, this kind of compassionate care can make a tremendous difference. It relieves pain, restores dignity, and reminds our guests that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

As we prepare for Easter, we are also getting ready to host our Easter Banquet, where neighbors in need will be welcomed to a warm meal, fellowship, and a reminder of the hope this season represents. Meeting practical needs while offering compassion and community is at the heart of everything we do.

Moments like these are only possible because of the generosity and involvement of people like you.

If you would like to help make this clinic possible, we invite you to consider volunteering or donating supplies to support our work at Western Carolina Rescue Ministries. Items we are currently collecting include towels, washcloths, foot care products, socks, and shoes.

Together, we can continue meeting practical needs, while sharing hope with those who need it most.

Message from Micheal Woods, Executive Director

Dear Friends,

As we move closer to the Easter season, I want to take a moment to personally thank you for the incredible role you play in the work happening at the Mission each day.

Your generosity and faithful support make it possible for us to walk alongside men, women, and children experiencing homelessness, addiction, and deep hardship. Simply put, this work would not be possible without you.

Because of your support, lives are being changed every day. Everyone who comes through our doors receives warm meals, safe shelter, and the opportunity for a fresh start.

As we approach Easter, we are reminded of the powerful message of hope, renewal, and new life. The story of Easter is at the heart of what we see happening every day at the Mission. This season celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of life over death, hope over despair, and love over sin. It is a celebration of new beginnings, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life. We see this same hope every day at the Mission, lives that once seemed lost are being restored, people who felt forgotten are finding purpose, and the light of God’s love is breaking through the darkness. Your partnership makes that transformation possible.

Thank you for believing in this ministry and for faithfully walking alongside us. I pray that you and your family experience the joy, peace, and hope that Easter brings.

With gratitude,

Micheal
