partners, volunteers, and Clean Team. Each of the billboards tells the story of someone who has been impacted by the Allentown Rescue Mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI AM\u201d is a slogan used by the Allentown Rescue Mission to demonstrate that everyone is a part of the Allentown Rescue Mission. The featured people on the billboards say, \u201cI AM the Allentown Rescue Mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ted came to the Allentown Rescue Mission after he fell on hard times. After learning valuable life-skills, the Transformation Program, Ted has joined the Clean Team and is on his way to being restored to his community.<\/p>\n<p>C Vending Company has been supporting the Allentown Rescue Mission for half a decade. \u201cGiving back is a good thing, it doesn\u2019t have to be a lot, but give back to your community,\u201d says Chip Catino, the owner of C Vending.<\/p>\n<p>Liz, a middle-school teacher, has been volunteering at the Allentown Rescue Mission for over six years. She not only takes the time to help out at the Allentown Rescue Mission but also teaches her students about how they can help give back to those in need.<\/p>\n<p>Doug, Raymond, and John are all working hard to change their lives.
