Winter shelter - during the winter season, we provided a safe, warm shelter to 72 men, 33 women and 4 kids. We provided 2,350 bottles of water, 1,071 walking breakfasts, over 200 items of clothing and 73 hygiene products. Of those served: 20 were victims of sex trafficking, 14 were on social security income, 24 were veterans, 35 were struggling with mental health issues, and 75 admitted struggles with substance abuse. In total, we provided 1,798 nights of shelter. With the opening of the community resource center, we were able to assist many to engage in greater services and saw many get into either a more long-term shelter or housing program.
