Local Hunger Charity Challenge
The Rome Rescue Mission and Davidson of Rome are teaming up again this holiday season to help end local hunger. For every donation we receive between now and Jan 1, Davidson of Rome will match up to $5,000. That's double your donation dollar towards an important and often overlooked community cause! A donation of just $50 will provide nearly 20 meals for those in need.
Did you know that 1 in 6 Americans face hunger or that households with children at the greatest risk? At the Rome Rescue Mission, your donations provide a means of hope to these families by giving shelter to the homeless and feeding the hungry. Our hand up, not a handout approach helps teach life-skills, inspiring life-long learning.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” – Matthew 25:35
How You Can Help: Please consider donating this holiday season. It could be monetary (remember, Davidson will match your donation!), or in the form of non-perishable food items. If you would like to donate to our food pantry, Davidson of Rome has set up a series of drop-boxes in the community. Stop in at the dealership, or at one of the drop-off points listed below.
