Casper, Wyo. — Wyoming Rescue Mission has received a $125,000 Daniels Fund grant to support its general operations.

This grant aligns with the Daniels Fund’s Homeless & Disadvantaged funding priority, which seeks to help individuals and families experiencing the initial stages of homelessness move from crisis toward economic self-sufficiency.

Wyoming Rescue Mission offers a hand up by practicing restorative hospitality to serve and empower all members of the community in need of refuge, recovery and rehabilitation. Whether homeless, in need of immediate shelter, or pursuing long-term transformation, the Mission aims to equip every guest with independence and dignity.

“The legacy of Bill Daniels lives on with his heart to see those marginalized and homeless restored back to community productivity through Wyoming Rescue Mission!” Brad Hopkins, Wyoming Rescue Mission Executive Director, said. “Special thanks to the Daniels Fund for their critical partnership to serve some 2,000 homeless through our back-to-work programs in a faith-based setting.”
