A heartfelt thank you to James Cox and Kraig Worster for their incredible support of the The Sanctuary Warming Shelter

When James heard we needed a box built around our electrical panel, he didn’t hesitate. He called his friend Kraig Worster, a local contractor, who generously donated his time and materials to get us up to code.

We’re so grateful for community members who step up to help make the shelter safe and welcoming for everyone. 💙

If you’re looking for a skilled and community-minded contractor, give Kraig a call at (207) 907-0530. Worster Custom Builders LLC
