Room In The Inn

To all,

Many thanks to each of you for your participation in Room In The Inn at Sharon this past winter. We had 172 guests; 23 came to our church more than once during the four months. We actually filled 197 bed-nights, part of 17,354 city-wide. There was a 61% increase in the number of families served by Room In The Inn over-all. Behind the scenes, extra social workers were brought on at the Urban Ministry Center to find more permanent housing for these families.

Beyond the statistics, you helped provide safe sleep, good food, and some bingo fun in a loving, hospitable manner. The drivers got our guests to SPC and back uptown, a distance that many of our neighbors walk frequently! The clean-up crews consistently left the facilities in fine shape which is really appreciated by the next group coming in to use the CLAB. Perhaps most importantly, you brought respect and dignity to people in a desperate situation.

Thank you for what you did and the way you did it.

Yours in Christ,

David Beers
