When Howard and Lynn started volunteering with us 16 years ago, they had no idea their service would blossom into the ministry it is today. Howard explains, “I thought I’d just plop some food on plates, and that would be it. I didn’t know there would be all this opportunity to care for people!”
Melissa’s dread of working on Christmas morning evaporated as she realized they were all family. Even though she loves the women and children guest residents,
Julia* has been in jail during several recent Christmases, and it was certainly NOT the “most wonderful time of the year” for her. Upon her release, she had nowhere to go and found herself homeless.
Roger’s relationship with his family was in tatters because of his addictive behavior before coming to the Mission. However, he still reached out to his daughter to ask what she wanted for Christmas.
