PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Homelessness is an issue nationwide and Bay County is no different. The Panama City Rescue Mission is doing all it can to help those in need despite not having enough staff.

“We don’t have employees we were able to serve and staff to be able to serve the evening community meal using our grant workers to help us out,” Stephen Fett, President of the Rescue Mission, said.

The grant was given to them because of COVID. Now the money has run out and the mission is in desperate need of volunteers.

“We do need help with volunteers packing up these food boxes carrying it out to cars things like that,” Fett said.
