If you’re not yet following the Hundred Nights Shelter on Facebook, I encourage you to start. I just received word that they could use your help very quickly, as in TODAY.
We are volunteers and advocates for our neighbors, with dignity and respect.
The shelter opens in a few weeks.. funding is solid as of January 2013.But today:
The rent is past due, and the electricity is to be disconnected tomorrow.. What do you suggest?
I had the pleasure of being amongst their first volunteers and I have to say that helping at the Hundred Nights Shelter has been far and away my most rewarding volunteer experience. I got the feeling that my efforts there were really helping people. They do so much with so little. This is a private overflow shelter that takes in homeless when other shelters are full or unwilling to take people in during the coldest months of the New Hampshire Winter. If you know what a NH Winter is like then you know they save lives. They’ve proven themselves for two years now and have earned your support.
When I got this news, I made a donation immediately online. You can do the same by clicking here. They need cash TODAY. It would be a shame if they had to face hardship and incur additional expenses getting power turned back on or paying late rent fees. If a cash contribution is more practical for you, the drop-in center is open until 4pm today as well. Follow the map below to the red “A” marker.
