Room in the Inn
Last year, with the help of approximately 5,000 volunteers, giving almost 150,000 hours of service and driving nearly 230,000 miles, Room In The Inn’s congregational shelter program provided more than 30,000 beds, more than 24,000 showers and served more than 61,000 meals and almost 31,000 snacks/lunches to our homeless guests. This year we will partner with Hamilton United Methodist Church to sponsor eleven Saturday nights during the 2010-2011 season. On these Saturday nights, we will provide transportation for our guests to and from the church, dinner, breakfast, sack lunches, and personal care items. We will also have volunteers spend the night with our guests that night. PUMC will be able to share the love of God with hurting people by offering them food, a warm bed, and a welcoming spirit. Opportunities for service include driving the van, spending the night, helping with clean up, and laundry. We are collecting personal care items as well. Here is the list of NEW items we need:socks - Men & Women
Thermal underwear - All sizes
underwear - Men & Women all sizes
t-shirts - Men & Women all sizes
USED items that are needed:
Tote or gym bags
Jackets
Sweaters
Wool hats
Gloves
Scarves
