Amherst Emergency Shelter

After 3 months into our new venture, the Amherst Emergency Shelter is progressing well.  This has been one of the coldest, snowiest winters in New England's recent history and we are glad to provide a warm, safe place for the homeless residence of the Amherst area.  I are grateful to the town of Amherst, the businesses and residents for supporting our work.  With the town's support and donations from the local businesses and residents we are able to provide 16 people every night with a hot meal and comfortable cot safe from the elements.  Thanks to the First Baptist Church for allowing us to use their building.  By the grace of God we will continue to provide shelter until May 1st.
