It's been an amazing year of serving those in need! We are proud of the work that has been accomplished during the lifespan of this interim shelter. To the staff and the many selfless volunteers, we say THANK YOU for everything you did to make this shelter a reality this past year!! IT could not have been done without you!

Looking forward, we are optimistic and cheering on the efforts of Bridge Street Mission as they prepare to welcome guests this evening to their new shelter space. We encourage you to support them in the continuing work of sheltering and assisting those in need.

Thanks again and take care of each other!
