What started as a temporary Emergency Shelters Project has turned into a full on ministry program serving the vulnerable that has been going on for almost three and a half years. Over that time we have supported 58 people to either find housing or take some next steps in their journey. We have accomplished this only with the help and dedication of countless parishes, volunteers, donors, and partner organizations.  Thank you!
