Thank you for blessing a guest at our shelter! This is always a highlight for our guests and it makes them feel at home and a small sense of “normal.” You can participate in two ways:
- Provide A Devotional for a guest at our shelter. Learn more below!
- Provide a Gift Bag filled with fun and essential items for a guest at our shelter through our Adopt-A-Friend program. Learn more below!
Provide A devotional for a guest
We are very excited to include a devotional to each guest in their gift bag. The following devotional is wonderful for someone brand new to faith, which most of our guests are. If you would like to purchase a Devotional for a guest, you can follow the link below!
