She's fully immersed in 5 Cities Homeless Coalition !!! Also pictured, Cassidy Rowland, our Outreach Coordinator.
If you're not familiar with 5CHC (located in Grover Beach), they work hard to service families and individuals by providing the resources, support and hope that they need to become self-sufficient, productive community members. Planning how best to address the needs of the homeless in South San Luis Obispo County today involves many caring citizens and community leaders, and we are taking a collaborative approach to meet the challenge.
St. Barnabas Thrift also accepts 5CHC vouchers which enable unhoused individuals to shop for needed clothing and supplies. Our sweet volunteers help them fill a bag (with socks, underware, jeans, jackets etc) & send them on their way, feeling supported and cared for
