We express sincere gratitude to all our volunteers that have worked so hard this week to extend warmth and hospitality to our
Family Promise guests. The complications the recent weather brought to our facilities made this feat a challenge. Our amazing Donald Underhill and our team of volunteers worked tirelessly to provide peaceful sanctuary, comfort, and reassurance during a stressful transition. We thank you and appreciate your kindness!
Many hands are still needed to help with laundry this week! Please help where you can.
