BETHANY CRISIS SHELTER HANDS-ON PROJECT
Playground Building
(No Morning Meeting)

Join us Wednesday afternoon from 4:00pm - 8:00pm for July's hands-on volunteer opportunity! Our club will be creating a playground area for the children and their families utilizing the new Bethany Crisis Shelter and services. Can't make it the whole time? Come for what you can! Don't have any "building" skills? No worries! There's plenty of work to go around for all.

Please contact Lisa Mitchell-Krocak <lisamk1@charter.net> if you will be able to attend!

Lutheran Social Services Bethany Crisis Shelter is a youth emergency shelter and a family resource center. The Youth Emergency Crisis Shelter offers short-term, emergency housing in a safe, residential setting and provides support for the physical and emotional needs of children and youth. The program emphasizes responsible behavior, healthy relationships and working to achieve goals. Bethany also houses the Family Resource Center that offers support resiliency, stability, and child well-being services in a community setting, designed to equip families to stay healthy, remain together when possible and prevent a crisis from occurring. Additionally, Bethany offers supported parenting and coaching, supported family time, therapeutic family and child services, crisis nursery services, and wrap-around services to those it serves.
