The Interfaith, Low-barrier Winter Shelter, year two - The Interfaith Winter Shelter opened its doors on November 1, 2010 at 9:00 pm.  Homeless persons were welcomed, even if there was a little alcohol on their breath.  On average, about thirty folks will bunk down at the host site (First United Church, First Christian Church, Trinity Episcopal Church or First United Methodist Church) each night of the week. St. Paul has worked with First Christian Church on Kirkwood & Washington by covering the personnel for Thursday evenings.  About twenty five volunteers are needed for the five shifts of each night.   Last year over one hundred St. Paul members volunteered to serve.  We also support the project with financial donations and with donations of individually-packaged treats for the clients.  The treats can be deposited in the baskets in the gathering space near the water fountain.  Donations can be made by check or on-line.The shelter will remain open until March 31, 2011.
