ROCHESTER, N.Y. — News10NBC’s The Big Give kicks off Friday at 6 a.m. Our crew is teaming up with the Open Door Mission shelter to collect donations for people experiencing homelessness, addiction, or food insecurity.
The donation event runs through 7 p.m. at ESL Ballpark. News10NBC has set up a tent in the VIP parking lot, in front of the main entrance on Morrie Silver Way. Open Door Mission says it’s in need of clothes, food, and toiletries.
News10NBC’s Kristi Blake is live from the donation site now through 7 a.m. You can livestream News10NBC TODAY’s show here.
This week, News10NBC has been speaking with leaders of the Open Door Mission about how they support Rochester’s most vulnerable people. Robert Williams, the CEO of Open Door Mission, explained what happens when someone comes in for shelter.
“It’s just an opportunity for us to find out how we can help them. Sometimes that emergency bed may turn into transitional housing or supportive housing,” he said. “And we generally like to have that transition begin the road to stability. So preventive services and supportive services are important with most of the emergency services that we provide.”
Open Door Mission has been active since 1952. Williams has been involved with the organization for the last 12 years and took over as CEO this month.
In 2024 alone, Open Door Mission provided more than 30,000 nights of shelter. Clothes are especially needed.
This will mark News10NBC’s second Big Give. In December, another drive at the ballpark filled five vans with grocery donations for the House of Mercy.
