Thank you so much for your support!!

Despite having an extra 45 or so guests, we were able to throw together a comforting meal of chicken and dumpling soup and a pumpkin bar. The saying, "A full stomach makes for a happy heart" is absolutely true and we see moods lift when a good meal is served.

Currently, the wind chill is hovering just below 32 degrees. At this time, we have decided to allow guests to stay the entire day and maintain their night by night bed. It would be too much of a burden on everyone to leave now just to return at 7pm. We will be serving dinner to the guests that stayed at the shelter due to the Code Blue.

A big thank you to everyone that has been so supportive of us through this transition.

We love your generosity Lawrence!
