 * The news article mentioned Rescue Mission is planning to open a 10-bed shelter for LGBTQ teenagers and cooperation with ACR Health. ACR Health is a nonprofit organization that provides support services for people with chronic illnesses, including HIV/AIDS. The article also mentioned this is the first time Rescue Mission as a Christian organization has done LGBTQ-specific work in its 131-year history. The article is released from NBCUniversal News Group, so it should be a reliable source for specific facts. We want to use this to show the diversity of the organization and how this impacts the community in Syracuse.

 * The article is about the Jerry McHenry Rescue case back in the 1850s and discusses the relationship between Syracuse and the Fugitive Slave Law. This historical background can connect with Rescue Mission because Rescue Mission's website mentions their organization name originates from Syracuse's history and is inspired by Jerry McHenry's case. The article is published by Cambridge University Press, so it should be a reliable source. We want to use this in our Wiki article as part of the historical background, introducing the connection between Rescue Mission and Jerry McHenry, and these days, how Jerry McHenry's case impacts the rescue activities performed by the organization.

 * The news article shows that Wegmans no longer hosts Rescue Mission donation centers in their parking lot. It mentioned that every year they collect donations from a massive 250,000 people, and the donation center program is more than a disposal service or convenience that improves the Syracuse community. This program also supports Rescue Mission’s mission. Also, the article provides a chart of the status of Rescue Mission's donation centers. The news article is from NewsChannel 9 WSYR Syracuse (localsyr.com), so it should be a reliable source with specific facts. We want to use this deeply in the services/programs that Rescue Mission provides.

However, Wikipedia has some descriptions of other rescue missions, such as the New York City and Union Rescue Mission. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a general overview of the Rescue Mission in Syracuse on Wikipedia. We plan to create a new entry that gives a general introduction to the Rescue Mission in Syracuse. The content will be divided into different sections, such as historical background, services provided, and relationship with the Syracuse community. Through reading our entry, we hope the audience can immediately get an overview of the Rescue mission of Syracuse.
