Volunteers Needed The Month of July
We deeply appreciate those of you who have responded to our need for volunteers. We have not only gotten additional help at cold night shelters and feeding programs, but we have been really blessed with volunteers who have taken over the Sunday and Thursday laundry programs. Thanks to those of you who continue to help week after week.

What's Needed Now

Please call before bringing items, to ensure that donations are still required. Each agency has limited storage space, and beds, for example, are large. Food is always welcome. The Continuum of Care also serves as a transfer point, getting supplies to the places where they are needed. Call 226-7694 to make sure someone is available.
