Even as we moved through difficult economic times, reduced income and dwindling resources, the good news is our doors were open and the lights were on, ready to welcome our members and residents. We offered hot coffee laced with unconditional love and compassion. The energy of volunteers and donors, community partners and businesses are the well spring of hope for Shelter Care Ministries. Through your continued generosity, Shelter Care Ministries is able to reach out and provide support services, housing and hospitality to the very poor of the Rockford area. In this issue Shelter Care Ministries celebrates you and your gifts.
