On Saturday mornings before the sun comes up and while most
of us are still asleep, Vennie Murphy is already hard at work in the Rescue Mission's Good
Neighbor Cafe kitchen preparing breakfast for homeless men and women in
downtown Tacoma. Hes the big guy with the smile behind the cafeteria counter
offering a pat on the back that revives you when your world is falling apart.
To honor Vennies commitment to our communitys most vulnerable, the Mission and Vennies brothers and sisters at IAM District 751 Machinists are co-hosting the Rescue Race: Vennie Murphy 5k for the Rescue Missionon Saturday, April 12, 2014 at Dacca Park in Fife, WA.
