Partner With Us to Make a Lasting Impact
At the Martinsburg Union Rescue Mission, we believe the local church is one of the most powerful forces for transformation in our community. Together, we can bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to men, women, and families experiencing homelessness and hardship across the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.
Why Church Partnerships Matter
Churches play a vital role in fulfilling the mission of The Great Commission—to go, make disciples, and share the Gospel.
When your church partners with the Martinsburg Union Rescue Mission, you are:
Meeting practical needs (meals, shelter, clothing)
Sharing the hope of Jesus Christ
Supporting life transformation and recovery
Strengthening your congregation through hands-on ministry opportunities
Serve as a Volunteer Team
Bring a group from your church to serve together at the Mission.
Opportunities include:
Preparing and serving meals
Organizing donations
Assisting with facility projects
Supporting outreach events
Perfect for: Small groups, youth ministries, men’s/women’s groups
Host a Meal or Sponsor a Day
Provide a meal and help meet one of the most immediate needs in our community.
Impact Example:
$20 = 5 meals
$40 = 10 meals
$80 = 20 meals
$150 = 1 week of meals and shelter
Your church can also come serve the meal and connect with guests.
Partner Through Financial Giving
Your church can make a lasting impact through:
Monthly mission support
