CENTRAL CARE MISSIONFebruary 13-26
A group of 26 energetic Volunteers greeted the residents of Central Care Mission (a homeless shelter) to the sounds of hammers, scrappers, ladders, and saws early on our morning of arrival and 7 workdays later said farewell to a group of gracious hosts. We accomplished 30 separate tasks, some large and some small, but all worthwhile. Central Care Mission was looking very nice after the work was done. We painted the entire outside of the building, the trim, doorways and eaves. We built a kitchen wall and a mop basin that an artist would have been proud of. We tore out two old floors and replaced them with a sub-floor and a floating wood floor that was as aesthetic as it was practical. There were numerous repairs ranging from replacing a gable to repairing a fence line and toilets and urinals. Leaks were repaired, windows restored, and the entire structure cleaned. Not only were we able to do this but we were humblied blessed to assist in feeding about 175 homeless individuals to a breakfast. As always we returned having grown spiritually as we served; we were served.
