The last two shelters went up in Bedford this week. The construction and installation phase of our Crisis Emergency Shelter project took just over six weeks and we are grateful to the team at Well Engineered Inc. for putting in a lot of extra hours to make the phase of the project happen so quickly. Also, thanks to many generous donors we have fully funded the construction and installation costs for this project!
The next phase of this project is caring for our guests. Parish teams have already begun work to support the immediate needs and will continue to with the guests and local service providers to help them try to take the next step toward safe, affordable, shelter. Please pray for our guests and all those affected by homelessness as we continue to look for ways to support those in need.
