We will be opening as an Emergency Warming Shelter this Monday, December 29th at 6:00pm through Wednesday, December 31st at 10am.
**OUR DAY USE SERVICE WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE DURATION WE ARE OPERATING AS A WARMING SHELTER**
This year we are excited about a new partnership with Grace Baptist Church, Cartersville, GA as they have graciously offered use of their gymnasium, allowing us to shelter 75-100 people this emergency shelter season.
In order to do this well it takes people power. We will be operational 24 hours a day from open to close. If you have a heart to serve or a love to cook in large quantities, we need your help. We are asking for volunteers to help with hot meals for our guests or to serve in shifts as a Shelter Monitor. Would you help us make a difference in someone's life?

We celebrated Christmas with our guests today. It is this Executive Directors favorite day if the year as we get to celebrate with our
friends and bring them holiday cheer. This was a team effort with volunteers, donors, and partners providing the resources and time to pull this Event off. Thank you! Our guests have felt your love and appreciate your love and care.

This is the message we shared with all of our guests before they opened their gifts:

Christmas is the true story of God coming close to us through Jesus. The Bible tells us that Jesus was born not in a palace, but in a stable, because there was no room for His family (Luke 2:7). From the very beginning, Jesus understands what it is like to have no place to lay His head. Later in His life He even said, “The Son of Man has no place to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20).

Christmas reminds us that God sees people the world often overlooks. Jesus came for the poor, the broken, and the hurting, and He brings hope to every situation. The Bible says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). No matter how dark life feels, God’s light still shines.

Through Jesus, God offers love, forgiveness, and new beginnings. Scripture tells us that God is “close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). This hope is for everyone—no matter your past, your struggles, or where you sleep tonight. You are not forgotten. You are deeply loved, and Christmas is a reminder that hope has come into the world for you.

There is so much to be grateful for this year. Two thing we are thankful for are our guests who need us and those who serve with us. Today was a beautiful day being thankful for these bonds.

A special thank you to AIAO Ministries for inviting us to be part of your annual event blessing our friends with a huge feast.
