DRUID HILLS NIGHT SHELTER
Druid Hills Night Shelter stands proud as it sees its residents move out of the shelter to their own living quarters; however, they often cross their new threshold with very little to set up “Home Sweet Home.” During the month of June, ponder your attic, basement or storage room and repurpose for a good purpose. Curt Barrett will post a list of the most needed items on the mission bulletin board, as well as, Morningside’s Facebook page. For more information, contact Curt at 404.310.4665 or emailcurt@mindspring.com.
