WELCOME PICTURES

The church coordinators also asked that Compass children color signs welcoming the homeless guests to the facility. Compass will have several designs of ‘Welcome’ pictures and crayons in the social hall for kids to color throughout the day.

HOMEMADE MUFFINS

We had many families volunteer to bake muffins to be served to the homeless at breakfast. If you already volunteered, please remember that the muffins need to be individually wrapped in Saran wrap and brought tomorrow.

Thank you for supporting this effort!
