The River Quarter Mission is a Non-Denominational Sanctuary and Soup Kitchen dedicated to providing food, basic medical care, and temporary shelter to the district's destitute laborers, orphaned 'river rats', and injured sailors. It serves as a communal hub where the city's poorest can find a warm meal and a safe place to rest for a few hours. This is a modest, two-story stone and timber building distinguished by its clean, albeit worn, appearance. A small, unpainted wooden sign hangs above the entrance, depicting a stylized hand holding a flickering candle.
