Our day homeless shelter in Edgewood had the funding stopped as of November 29th, and I’ve been very sad about that. Two of the faithful volunteers at that shelter attend the same Church as I do so I plan on discussing with them how I can help the homeless now. I’m not sure if that will mean making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches weekly for their lunch, or buying them things like chap stick, bottled water and other essentials. These people have tents in the woods of Aberdeen and Edgewood, and have many different needs. I look forward to doing all I can to help make their lives a little bit more bearable especially during this winter season.
