We need volunteers to help set-up rooms, make meals, serve meals, play with kids, take down rooms, and wash laundry after the week is over! Sign up for SUNDAY, TUESDAY, THURSDAY and SATURDAY. Together, we can end family homelessness in North Kent! Wendy is coordinating food planning. Contact her for details.
