Fall is upon us. The days are getting shorter, the air is turning cooler and soon we will be snuggling in our warm homes as the weather turns from cool to freezing. For the homeless of Washington County there is no warm home and they will be coming to the REACH Cold Weather Shelter seeking shelter and a hot meal. Now is the time to renew our commitment to this ministry.
The shelter will open on Sunday, October 25th.
Gene and Jane Walkley are the coordinators for the week of Dec 20-27.
Last season, Trinity provided coverage at the shelter for three evenings. This included the evening meal, coverage for all volunteer positions (check-in, intake, laundry assistance, hospitality) and donations of time, food, snacks, handmade hats and scarves, and prayers. Several members of the contemporary choir came to sing and some volunteers came back on other evenings to help.
This season, Trinity has again agreed to cover three evenings. The tentative days are Dec 20, 21 and 22. The Trinity Youth are providing volunteers and the meal for Sunday, Dec 20th.
If you are interested in volunteering your time by helping to organize one of the meals on Dec 21 or 22, or if you are interested in helping in one of the positions, please see Jane or Gene Walkley.
