Our shelter’s basement stores food, towels, sheets, personal supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, and other essentials for more than 300 adults and children each year. Last year it took more than 500 hours of staff and volunteer time to keep the basement tidy, so support like this makes a big difference! Thank you!!
