Volunteering Support for the Cold Weather Shelter – Save the dates!
The Cold Weather Shelter (CWS) is a partnership with the Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center, the faith community, and the Howard County government to provide shelter to those families and individuals who are in need of a warm place to stay during the colder months of the year. Please mark your calendars now for volunteering with the CWS for CMPC. CMPC will be the primary host congregation from the evening of Monday, December 17th through the morning of Monday, December 24th. Since our facility is not available to host any guests this season, Grassroots has arranged for the Merriweather Post Pavilion facility to be available that week to provide the shelter for those enrolled in the CWS. CMPC volunteers will have the first opportunity to sign up to support the CWS for the week of December 17th through December 24th. Various duties will be needed to be performed during the week. About a week after the announcement is published, volunteers from all congregations participating in the CWS will also have the opportunity to sign up for that week.
Watch for the announcement to sign up, expected sometime around Thanksgiving. If you have any questions, please contact the CMPC CWS Coordinator, Jeff Seymour, at jjseymour2@address4email.net or on 443-562-4744.
