Alsco Wichita Falls Donates to the Wichita Falls Faith Mission

    WICHITA FALLS, TX, November 25, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wichita Falls branch of Alsco, Inc., the premier linen and uniform services company, recently donated to the Wichita Falls Faith Mission. Since 1958, Wichita Falls Faith Mission has stood as a place of faith, hope and love for the homeless and displaced in the Wichita Falls, Texas, area.

"First of all thank you for thinking of us and generously giving a gift to the New Beginnings for women program. Our mission is to provide Christ-centered programs and services that lead the homeless toward self-sufficiency," said Lyka Bennett, assistant director of development, Wichita Falls Faith Mission.

The Wichita Falls Faith Mission New Beginnings program is an eight-month recovery program designed for women seeking victory over addictive behaviors. The goal of New Beginnings is to transform the minds and hearts of those in the program to avoid falling back into destructive patterns. Participants find renewed hope as they discover a higher purpose for their lives.

"Wichita Falls Faith Mission recently opened Victory House to help women transition out of homelessness. Being that this is a brand new home program, we wanted to be sure that it got off to a great start," said Lindsay Wise, HR manager, Alsco Wichita Falls.

"By breaking the cycle of addiction for one person, their entire family benefits. Faith Mission's New Beginnings Program helps many women break that cycle, and our entire community reaps the benefits of that new hope," said Wise.

"The donation from Alsco helps us further our mission by providing funding for our New Beginnings program, which equips women with the tools to overcome addiction," said Bennett. "Program participants are provided shelter, food and a recovery and work therapy program in a Christian setting at no cost to them. We wouldn't be able to provide this program without the help of generous supporters like Alsco."
