Fresh Start Inc

Thank You goes out to The Magdalene Project for sponsoring the Warming Center at the Knights of Columbus Hall during this bout of freezing cold temps and possibility for snow, lots of snow. Since Fresh Start has now opened our Night Shelter Program, we spoke with many of our Partnering Agencies prior to opening to help us fill the gaps of services that we had handled before this big change. One of which is the Warming Center until we get all our staff and volunteers in place. So again, thank you goes out to the Magdalene Project and their volunteers who are able to cover this time. Over this weekend, we will keep our clients in so that they won't have to travel in the snow if they don't need to. If you have questions regarding our Night Shelter Program, don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate our community's support of what we are doing in Junction City, Geary County.

As we have started our Night Shelter Program, we are finding that we are in need of additional "hands on deck". Do you have some time in the evening during dinner, 5:30-9:30pm? Or two hours in the morning, 6:00-8:00am to help out? Evening tasks include assisting with serving dinner once the clients come in, and helping to monitor as they come and go. Morning tasks include putting out breakfast items for clients to make on their own breakfast, and assist staff with monitoring clients coming and going. If you are interested in helping, please message us. We do have a volunteer application and we do background checks on our volunteers for the safety of everyone. Thank you in advance!

A big THANK YOU to Corvias' Community Engagement Team for dropping off a large load of coats and warm clothes today, along with some ready-to-eat soups for our clients.
