Shelter Networks’s programs focus is on providing support for families and single adults, like job training and housing search assistance, but they find it just as important to meet the day-to-day needs of homeless men, women, and children that they serve. For these families and individuals, losing their home also meant losing many of the other basic necessities that many of us take for granted. Whatever we contribute helps support the work of the shelter and families who need temporary care. We are helping families become self sufficient again.
Let us take time to think of the children of First Step for Families of Shelter Network. The high school begins on middle of August and the younger ones it will be the end of the month. The focus is for BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
