Hope Maker: Amy

Amy has been gifting her time and lovely smiling face to guests at our Emergency Shelter as a volunteer since 2010! In addition to Amy’s contributions as a board member, she spends her Wednesday afternoons providing guests with valuable resources and guidance so they can move beyond the circumstances that led them to homelessness.

Thank you, Amy, for being a Hope Maker!

"Homelessness can be a family of four living paycheck to paycheck, suddenly hit by an unexpected auto repair bill. Homelessness can happen to those who have fallen ill, missed work, or lack savings for emergencies. Homelessness may be the result of a parent and young child fleeing an abusive household, often tied to traumatic experiences. It can even be the young woman who cashes you out for gas on your way to work, sleeping on a friend’s couch for the third consecutive night. It’s the hospital coworker who had to shower at a shelter that morning, and it’s the school-aged child whose only stable meals are provided at school during breakfast and lunch."
