The Bay Area Rescue Mission is an organization that does more than offer a hand-out to the homeless and impoverished in the Bay Area.  Since 1965, the Mission has offered real help as well as hope, and that is why I support it.”
...Steve Lesher, Board of Director, Dean and Margaret Lesher Foundation, Walnut Creek , CA

“Lasting hope and real help is at the center of what the Rescue Mission does.  I wouldn’t support, personally or professionally, that does not deliver a good return on investment, the Bay Area Rescue Mission does exactly that!”
...Rick Zalesky, Former General Manager of Richmond Refinery, ChevronTexaco

“We consider the Bay Area Rescue Mission to a community jewel.”
...Isaiah Turner, Former City Manager, City of Richmond
