Homeless Shelter News

The men’s shelter volunteers provide meals, a safe place to sleep, and friendship to our guests on Saturday and Sunday nights. It is a small way we can restore dignity and respect into the lives of men who are challenged with homelessness. We had new volunteers join this month and dedicated returning volunteers from 5-80+ years. To date, we have collected over 350 pairs of socks and over 200 have been distributed. We will continue to give out socks through the winter months. During the winter months we are collecting new men’s hats, gloves and scarves to give to our guests. Drop off your donations in the rectory or have your gifts mailed to: Ascension Shelter, 221 W 107 St, NY, NY 10025. New volunteers are always welcome.

 Noticias de refugio para personas sin hogar

Los voluntarios de los refugios para hombres brindan comidas, un lugar seguro para dormir y una amistad para nuestros huéspedes los sábados y domingos por la noche. Es una pequeña forma en que podemos restaurar la dignidad y el respeto en las vidas de los hombres que tienen dificultades con la falta de vivienda. En noviembre alojamos a 109 invitados durante 8 noches. Tuvimos nuevos voluntarios que se unieron este mes y dedicamos voluntarios de regreso de más de 5 a 80 años. Hasta la fecha, hemos recolectado más de 350 pares de calcetines y más de 200 han sido distribuidos. Continuaremos repartiendo calcetines durante los meses de invierno. Durante el mes de diciembre, estamos recolectando nuevos sombreros, guantes y bufandas para hombres para entregar a nuestros huéspedes. Deje sus donaciones en la rectoría o envíe sus donaciones a: Ascension Shelter, 221 W 107 St, NY, NY 10025. Los nuevos voluntarios siempre son bienvenidos.
