They are part of our humanity and it is our civic, religious, and moral duty to help each one of them. Because first and foremost each one of them is a child of God, just like each one of us. The Crossroads Center has been searching for the last year or so for land to build a new home. Once we find this lot, we will launch an aggressive fund-raising campaign for a new building to be constructed. Sometimes, it seems like each step encounters an obstacle.
Frustration is the result.
I would like to see a true monument built to humanity right within downtown Hastings. It would be something we could all be proud of. Then, once it is built, the Hastings community could continue to support it with their heartfelt donations of time and goods. I feel that there is ample room within our city to have beautiful sports complexes and shining examples of charity. Let's not enjoy the recreational and fun parts of our life at the cost of being proper stewards to our fellow mankind.
