Please stay tuned for any updates as we move into this incredibly cold week.

We have been thrilled to have several new volunteers over the past few days, and we are always happy to welcome more on board. If you hear of anyone who is interested in learning more, please send them my way!

Also, as many people ask what the general needs are for the guests or for the shelter on a daily basis, here is the Amazon wish list. If you ever have someone who asks what sort of practical things they can provide, this is a good starting point: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19F80KGEHPUDK?ref_=wl_share

Or, if anyone local would like to run to drop something off, we can always use coffee cups, plates, bowls, and disposable utensils for meals; creamers and milk; sugar; toilet paper; hand sanitizer; and 55-gallon trash bags.

As always, thank you for your support!
