1974 >>> Construction of a modern, more functional Rescue Mission was completed.

1976 >>> Rev. Charles C. Thomas, founder, passed away and was succeeded by his son, Rev. Curtis Thomas.

1979 >>> An increase in female homelessness created the need for a separate facility to meet the needs of women and children-our Marjorie Ruth Thomas Harvest Home was opened under the direction of Eileen Thomas. 1987 >>> Homelessness continued to increase, and additions and renovations to both the Rescue Mission and Harvest Home became necessary.
