Memory and Honor

Your memorial and honor gifts provide food, clothing, shelter, and life-change to those in desperate need of help and hope.

Celebrate with an Honorarium Gift or Commemorate with a Memorial Gift and Make a Difference.


At the Peninsula Rescue Mission, we understand the importance of honoring the special people and occasions in your life while simultaneously making a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate in our community. We invite you to consider giving a gift in memory or in honor of a loved one, friend, or special occasion.


By choosing to make a contribution, in lieu of flowers, for a deceased loved one or to celebrate significant events such as anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, or graduations, you have an opportunity to pay tribute in a meaningful way and support the PRM mission .
Not only will your gift be a thoughtful gesture, but it will also have a tangible effect on the lives of individuals facing hardship. Through your generosity, we can provide essential services such as food, shelter, clothing, and counseling to those in need, giving them hope for a brighter future.
When you make an honor or memorial gift, we offer the option of sending a card to the designated family or individual to notify them of your heartfelt contribution. (amounts aren’t shared) This serves as a personal touch that lets them know you care. To ensure the card reaches the intended recipient, kindly provide us with their name and address when making your gift.


At the Peninsula Rescue Mission, we cherish the opportunity to honor and remember loved ones and celebrate special occasions while making a difference in the community. Your generosity and compassion have the power to transform lives and inspire hope.
Thank you for considering an honor or memorial gift. Your support truly makes a difference.

Donations can be made Here just remember to check the box to specify if gift is an honorarium or memorial.
