Next Grassroots Meal

Got some time to make part of a meal for the homeless shelter? One of our teams is making a meal for Grassroots on Sunday Sept. 28. You'll just need to bring your contribution to Chapelgate that Sunday morning. Send me an email at mspaulis@verizon.net and I'll connect you to that team captain. She'll let you know what the team needs. If this day doesn't work for you, email me and I'll let you know the next date. This is such an easy way to make a difference in the lives of people less fortunate than us!

Grassroots New Facility

Hi to all! I had a very busy summer, as I imagine you had,  and now I am ready to get back to organizing and keeping you updated on our  ministry at Grassroots. I recently toured the facility and was warmly welcomed and given a tour by Anna Katz, the Cold Weather Shelter director. The staff is enjoying the additional space and having freshly painted and decorated rooms. I'm sure the men, women, and families are also enjoying the newer facilities. The families have their own breakfast area and living room where they can hang out and watch TV. There are plans for an outdoor play yard for the children. The single men have the same set up on another wing near their bedrooms. I enjoyed my visit and appreciated the thoughtfulness that went into the planning for the renovations. They even have a men's bathroom for the dads in the family area. 

This is the medical exam room. Doctors and nurses volunteer their time here and one of the doctors managed to find this excess equipment for the center.
