The shelter has seen a very busy winter. We spent most of these cold months with a full house of people struggling to get back on their feet. 2014 in general was a very busy year for us. 198 people spent time in the shelter, including 18 children. With that many in the house, imagine how many resources are needed to make it work. Just think about it....with 14 residents and staff....that is a lot of water, electricity and gas used everyday. But, it doesn't stop there. It takes boxes and boxes and boxes of supplies to keep the shelter going. I am not just talking about food, which is greatly appreciated. What I am speaking of are the endless amount of cleaning supplies needed to keep the shelter and the residents clean and healthy. Sadly, that supply has been depleted this winter. It is time to address this challenge and replenish our supplies.
April will be the month to refill our top ten items needed. The challenge is listed on our New Events page and on Facebook. Donate one item or donate ten. It is up to you. If you want to inspire others with your good deed, share your donation (pictures are welcomed) with us on our Facebook page. You can also check out our House Needs page to see all the things needed to keep the shelter going.
And just to let you know....if you are interested in pledging ongoing support, making a one-time gift or dropping off needed supplies call us at 440-992-3178. If you call and reach our digital mailbox, please leave a message. Someone will call you back to set up a time convenient for you to drop off your donations.
