ABOUT
We need volunteers to provide hot dinners to the Hope for the Homeless Emergency Warming Shelter when it opens for the winter of 2018-2019. We plan to do that in 2 ways:
- Bring a hot meal, (you, your church or organization can donate the meal OR you can prepare a meal from our pantry) and bring it over on days that we know the Emergency Warming Shelter will be open. Dinner is usually at 6 pm, and breakfast is at 6 am.
- Donate for the shelter pantry either monetarily or with gifts of pantry items
