The Evansville Rescue Mission is honored to announce a gift of $250,000.00 from Crossroads Christan Church for the Safe and Sound Campaign to establish the Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children. This remarkable donation exemplifies the church’s commitment to our community’s most vulnerable. According to ERM’s President / CEO, Tracy Gorman, “We hope this inspiring investment sparks conversions in other local churches to participate in this campaign. Together, we can create a safer, brighter future for women and children in need.

Thank you, Crossroads Christian Church, for leading by example.”

The Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children will be a 125-bed facility located at 1400 Professional Blvd. on Evansville’s East Side when completed in early-2025. Currently, the Evansville Rescue Mission is leading a campaign to raise $9,000,000.00 (nine million dollars) to launch the Center. Once completed, the facility will house single women and women with children; offer full programming and case management; provide a daycare; offer a teaching kitchen, hair salon, fitness room, and a chapel. The construction work currently underway is being completed by ARC Contractors, and the project is being managed by LA+D Architects.

Kyle Gorman, Execu?ve Director of Advancement said, “Many of the women and children we will ultimately serve are somewhat invisible to the community right now. They’re living in cars, cheap motel rooms, abandoned houses, and in many cases, moving nightly from place to place.

The Center for Women and Children will offer these people safety, stability, and perhaps most importantly, a place where they are seen and are no longer invisible.”
