Each year in October, we look back on a year of devotion and support and present the Good Samaritan Awards. Aside from a chance to thank the volunteers and churches that form the backbone of MCREST, the gala is the organizations biggest fundraiser of the year. Those funds are used to finance the programs and operational costs in support of MCREST's mission: offering temporary shelter to the homeless individuals and helping them transition to independence.
