Games, movies, twelve-step intervention programs, community service representatives for drug, medical, mental health assessments is on going. The LINK ReachOut mentors provide another opportunity to partner with the guests to support them in taking charge of their lives. There really is no difference between a homeless person and someone who is not, except cash flow. The PORT program offers opportunities of becoming aware of learning to love differently thorough letting go of fear and judging others, the acceptance of differences, listening without a need to talk and having fun. Members of the same fellowship may meet for the first time while they are helping in the program.
PORT provides one positive solution to homelessness.
Volunteers are always welcomed. If you are interested in learning more about LINK and the PORT program, please call Lynne Finding, Executive Director at 595-1953. The Recipes page has some menu ideas, nutritional needs and recipes to help you and your organization prepare breakfast and dinner. The Shelter Operations has the Check List detailing the planning needed before each site starts operating, as well as the daily time schedule for volunteer shift times, meals, and cleaning during shelter operation. The Schedule lists the hosting church name, location, phone numbers and the Partner organizations for each week of PORT operation.
