A Message to the Business Community
While the Boston Rescue Mission is an organization dedicated to providing those in need with the basic necessities of life, it is also a company that has the needs of most corporations. Many of the business assets (computer systems, office furniture, software, office supplies, telephone system, etc...) have been donated to the Mission by companies that have outgrown or updated their own systems. We can not guarantee that we will be able to utilize the office items you would like to donate, but we would certainly appreciate it if you would let us know what you might have available. Please contact Eric Grenfell-Muir at 617-338-9000, ext. 1209 or via email at egrenfell-muir@brm.org to speak about donating such items.
