SECRETARY MILES ISSUES FINDINGS ON DOWNTOWN RESCUE MISSION

Secretary of State Jim Miles announced today investigators in his office have found no violations of the S.C. Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act by the Downtown Rescue Mission of Spartanburg.

According to Secretary Miles, the Downtown Rescue Mission does not qualify for the religious exemption, since part of the income does inure to the direct benefit of members. Both Rev. Stanley and Rev. Walton received salaries from the mission.

“However, the Downtown Rescue Mission duly registered with our office as a charitable organization and has filed the appropriate forms,” said Miles. “Not only is the mission required to comply with registration, they have acted accordingly.”

Secretary Miles added that the office has not received any consumer complaints regarding solicitation violations by the Downtown Rescue Mission.

“At this time, we have found no violations, and therefore, there are no sanctions to be issued,” said Miles.
