SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Good Things Utah) – Approximately 14,000 people in Utah will experience homelessness this year. Chris Croswhite, executive director of Rescue Mission of Salt Lake, is seeking help with the Mission’s annual holiday donation drive.

Croswhite says there is a lack of emergency shelter beds, and a greater number of people are living on the street. The Rescue Mission is here to help, providing shelter, meals, safe day room space and a new life program to provide a pathway off the streets for people currently experiencing homelessness.
