COVID-19 WISH LISTWe thank all of our supporters who have reached out to donate, volunteer, and lend a helping hand since the onset of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. You have inspired us to be more innovative as we maneuver with confidence through this time of uncertainty with ways to continue providing our emergency services (hot meals, showers, a safe place to sleep, etc.), 12-step recovery, family living, job training, education, and workforce development programs to our community. Our community needs our help now more than ever.You can help by donating the following items.We are serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner “take-out” meals to our community every day. The number of people we are serving is continuing to increase as other feeding programs have reduced or discontinued services.

On the morning of March 19, 2020, the smell of smoke was heavy in the air. Our beautiful green house had a fire that started on the 2nd floor and spread to the 3rd floor as well. We are extremely grateful that everyone got out safely and nobody was hurt. All of the families who lived in the green house are being temporarily housed in a motel right around the corner. We are waiting to hear how extensive the damage is and how rapidly the families can return.In the meantime, we turn to you, our faithful supporters, and ask for you to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This is an immediate appeal to help us in our time of need.
