Grace and Peace Winter Shelter

It's so awesome that so many are motivated to give so generously in this COVID-19 season! Thank you all! If you are in the St. Louis area, you will know that for the last several years, the St. Louis Community Foundation has sponsored a huge local giving event called GIVESTLDAY! Here's the link: https://www.givestlday.org/graceandpeacefellowship Give STLDAY this year is this Thursday, May 7! (Which has confused some people because #GivingTuesdayNow from the people who usuall...y do a Giving Tuesday later in the year, has popped up to focus on COVID-19 helping! We don't have spot in GivingTuesday, now or later!) Give STLDAY this year is this Thursday, May 7! And, The Grace & Peace Winter Shelter has a Profile Spot, so you can give to the Shelter if you wish (the link again): https://www.givestlday.org/graceandpeacefellowship We appreciate all donations and, like everyone else, have a lot to figure out before we can safely serve homeless people this winter. Please, message me with any questions. Melody Perkins, Ministry Le

Many, many thanks to our faithful, meal and service volunteers and our staff, who have been the hands and feet and words of Christ to our guests, keeping the shelter open these past three months! We have one more month left of being open until spring, and some of our ladies are looking for apartments. If you have any leads for inexpensive, but good places, please let us know. Thank you, and God bless you!

Many thanks to all who have contributed ladies'needed items, money, prayer, food and volunteer time to the shelter in these past 3.5 weeks. We are blessed and thankful.

If you are out shopping or closet cleaning and have ladies new cotton/blend panties in sizes 6-xxl and new or very gently used bras in B and C cups, we could use them in the next couple of weeks. Also yoga type soft pants or modest warm PJs, S-XXL. Thanks for thinking of us!
