History

1909 - The Detroit Rescue Mission was founded by David C. Stucky on February 14, 1909. The Mission was housed in an old poultry store, and in order to hold the first chapel service, Mr. Stucky had to beg for and borrow chairs for his guests. He did not have music for the service either, since he did not have the $30.00 needed to purchase an organ. Following a strong prompting from the Lord, Mr. Stucky went home. When he arrived, there was a letter waiting for him containing a donation of exactly $30.00. With a thankful heart, Mr. Stucky bought an organ that day, and was able to play for the Detroit Rescue Mission's first chapel service.

1918 - The growing Mission moved into slightly larger quarters. Thanksgiving and Christmas were very challenging for the Mission staff and volunteers. They worked in shifts for several days preparing bags of food to distribute to over 400 needy families.
