Ground Zero Rescue & The Ark Co-Sponsor Fundraiser To Benefit The Homeless

On May 11, 2010, Ground Zero Rescue partnered with The Ark in Dothan to sponsor a pancake dinner with all proceeds going to both organizations that we may continue the work of serving the homeless in the "wiregrass area" of southeast Alabama. A big thanks to the Cloverdale Baptist Church in Dothan for the use of its facilities to hold this event, featuring special guest, Judge Roy Moore.

Below are photos capturing some of the highlights of the evening. Thank you to all who joined us and donated to this worthy cause! Without financial givers, we cannot provide services necessary to support those less fortunate and in such great need.

Homeless Shelter Honors Six Graduating Residents

Ground Zero Rescue, a tri-county homeless shelter, kicked off a celebration service on Saturday, May 22, 2009, in honor of six shelter residents who successfully completed the 90-day restoration course program. A cook out featured guest speakers, live music by the Ground Zero Band, food for shelter residents and community attendees. Each of these six graduates received official certificates of first level course completion.

Pastor Mary Shelnutt, founder of Ground Zero Rescue, stated, "I am so proud of our six residents who completed our 90-day restoration course. They are now one step closer to entering the path of independent living which is our goal for all residents of the shelter."

Ground Zero Rescue provides crisis and long-term housing, food and clothing, counseling, education and transition to work programs for the homeless. One of the mission's many goals is to rescue and restore the homeless to independent lives within the community.
