Epworth Shelter
There was a Community meeting tonight at Epworth Church, for the Edgewater community regarding the shelter at Epworth. The agenda was to open lines of communication with us, the new provider for the shelter, and the community as a whole. Twenty or so people attended to discuss issues from the past, and how we as CCO will address and work on solving the issues. It was very productive in that many people were able to speak their mind, and allow for a good back and forth communication.
We look forward to helping be a part of the needs and solution, with members of that community regarding the homeless, an open doors to relationships.
*Thanks to Doug Fraser for mediating the meeting, he really has a mind for the common interests, and how to keep open conversations toward balance.
