At SDUMC we opened our hearts, our minds and our doors for two weeks for a very successful Interfaith Shelter Network rotation, concluding on Sunday, February 14th. Over 14 days we provided 42 meals to 14 adults, one two year-old and a dog. We received over $1000 in donations for food and equipment from our generous congregation. Three guests found permanent housing and two found jobs during their stay at SDUMC.
A BIG thanks to the more than 100 members and friends who made the shelter such a success. We could not “minister to the hopes and hurts of a troubled world” without you.
It sure looks like a lot of individuals had a good time helping with the Shelter. As one of our members recently said in an article in the La Paloma newsletter, “Doing good will do you good.” Too true.
We at San Dieguito received far more goodness than we gave.
The North County Coastal branch of Interfaith Shelter Network is having its wrap up/evaluation on Wednesday, April 7 at 7 PM at Community Resource Center on Second St. in Encinitas.
