11 Oct Jersey Shore – New Name, Same Mission!
Starting on October 1st, the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission in Asbury Park will be known as the Market Street Mission – Jersey Shore.
The Jersey Shore Rescue Mission serves neighbors in need in the Shore community through meals, shelter, and addiction recovery. It was first launched in 2007 as an outreach of the Market Street Mission in Morristown, which has been serving people in Northern New Jersey since 1889.
“Despite its distinct name, Jersey Shore Rescue Mission has always been part of the Market Street organization, using Market Street leadership as well as core Market Street methods to see lives changed both in the short-term and long-term,” says Market Street Mission COO George Moussab.
Presenting as one unified Mission will help us to be better stewards of our donors’ gifts. Additionally, for the sake of familiarity and trust, our goal is to consistently identify all sites as part of the Market Street Mission family for the benefit of our overnight guests, clients, and community relationships. For this reason, all three of our locations in Morristown, Asbury Park and Newton will share the Market Street Mission name and logo.
Moussab adds, “While the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission name is changing, our services and care – and our commitment to people in the Shore community – will remain exactly the same. Our compassionate staff will continue to provide meals, shelter, clothing and addiction recovery to our neighbors in need, just as we always have. Our thrift store will continue to faithfully serve the community, offering great bargains on clothing, furniture, and other essentials as well. The only changes are to our name and logo to better reflect the Mission’s identity as a cohesive Market Street Mission whole, which you will see reflected in our communications moving forward.”
