November 15, 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm

COME anytime between 5:30 to 6:30 pm for a tour! You will find staff, guests, and volunteers in each area of the shelter to show you what's updated, answer questions, and give you a glimpse into the impact you make!

BRING YOUR CHURCH CLERGY/STAFF to ignite the passion for GIFTS and show them what happens at our ministry!

PIE! Did we say pie? Yes, we did! Enjoy time with pie, coffee, and fellowship with the other coordinators. Tracy, GIFTS Manager of Church and Community Relations, will be here to answer questions, help you sign up for your next time slot, and a special thank you!

BE ENERGIZED and renew your soul seeing all that happens at the shelter! 

REGISTER below because we'd be sad to run out of pie! Just let us know how many are coming. The deadline to register is November 8.
Call Tracy at 608.322.6629 for questions.
