    Description

    For those experiencing homelessness, Christmas can be a painful reminder of separation from family separation from family, poverty and failure.

    That is why we are hosting Show Some Love on Friday, December 12, an event designed to boost the emotional health of hungry and hurting neighbors.

    We transform the shelter into a Christmas wonderland and treat the overnight guests to a special Christmas movie viewing, haircuts and pampering kits, an elegant dinner, a room full of homemade desserts, and games and gift bags filled with inspirational and meaningful gifts to help them feel special and cared for.

    You can bring hope to forgotten souls at Christmas.
