Join Rotaract for an evening volunteering at Victory Mission sorting clothing, followed by dinner at Lindberg’s!

• 5:30-6:30 Victory Mission

• 6:30-7:30 Lindberg's

Victory Mission is the largest homeless shelter and recovery ministry in Southwest Missouri, serving men and women through emergency shelter, long-term recovery and discipleship programs, outreach, and workforce development. Through several job training programs and social enterprises, participants gain practical skills, work experience, and stability as they rebuild their lives.

Beyond providing clothing directly to those in need, Victory partners with several SWMO thrift stores to rescue clothing that would otherwise end up in the landfill. Clothing recycling helps generate income to sustain programs while reducing reliance on donor funding.

Come lend a hand, learn more about the mission, and enjoy a great evening together at Lindberg’s afterward!
