Hello All,  This sounds like a wonderful resource.  I look forward to sharing ideas.  My name is Barb and I am the Director of Food Services for Rescue Ministries of Mid Michigan which includes 2 Homeless Shelters and  a Youth Shelter.   I am interested to hear what types of items Shelters have seen come in through this Betty Mills Donation program and any ideas of how you made donors aware of the program.

Hi I'm Jenney Rice and I work with unsheltered adults in the Columbus Ohio area. We also run 2 volunteer ran food pantries. I was able to use my points to purchase  tuna and chicken kits and fruit cups. We have a handful of guests trying to return to work so along with our local food bank we have been able to supply them with hardy lunches to get them through the day. We've also used our items for unsheltered guests who are not settled in a campsite but roam throughout the city and have no way to cook meals. The program has really helped us. I am looking forward to learning from each of you!

Our shelter has been serving families in need for well over two decades. Thank you for this terrific platform to interacts with each other and share ideas and stories. It takes a village!! Bless all of you and the work you do to help others!

Any one doing night shelter ministry/human service programs putting up curtains around bunks in dorms, or major changes?  We are zig-zagging up and down on bunks and alternating which direction the head of bed is per lodger.  Our HVAC introduces fresh air constantly.  We are down to less than 50% capacity.  People are not roaming and we are demanding proof of testing and being healthy.  Any perspectives or insights welcomed.

Hi. I am the CFO at Feeding GA Families. I look forward to learning about what you all do.
