Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries is honoring over 400 graduating clients on Thursday, June 20th at DRMM’s Banquet Hall at 3606 E. Forest in Detroit. The ceremony will begin at 11 AM and will be followed by lunch for all guests.

With friends, family members, counselors, and community officials in attendance, graduates will celebrate completion of one of DRMM’s programs over the last year, including residential programs, treatment, job training, or GED certification through DRMM’s partnership with Detroit Public Schools’ Adult Education Program.

The vast majority of graduates are homeless or formerly homeless men and women from the Cities of Detroit and Highland Park who have battled addiction, dislocation, loss, and even hopelessness. The ceremony marks a turning point for many, including clients who will deliver their testimonies to the crowd.

Founded over 104 years ago, Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries is one of the largest rescue missions in the nation, and serves over 1,600 men, women, and children in the Cities of Detroit and Highland Park each day, by providing emergency shelter, housing, and substance abuse treatment to those in need.
