In September and October, we partnered with Family Promise, a network of congregations who provide housing and support to families experiencing homelessness. We hosted 3 families with 4 adults and 10 children from 10/23-10/30. Thank you to Sue Huber, Angela Tedesco, Mike Stimson, Bruce Martin, Becky Evans, Barb Martin, Barb Hendricks, Stephanie Stenberg, Michael Stimson, and Ann Mowery for organizing the week and all of the 75 volunteers slots needed to make this possible.
