As you read this, our kitchen is busier than ever. For the past ten years, we have been responsible for providing the evening meal to homeless men at the Emergency Winter Shelter. This season, we are experience a 40% increase in meals this fall vs. last fall.
In addition, each day, the clients in the Rebound and Dove’s Nest programs work hard to turn around their life from the self destructive habits that drove them to the streets. At a recent class I conducted at our Dove’s Nest program, I talked to one woman who has been with us since October. I remember her first few days, trying to tell me everything she thought. She didn’t realize her best thinking lead her to the streets. Today, she is about to complete our program. She is much more humble, willing to learn, anxious to learn the tools we teach so that the streets will become a thing of the past.
