The Spokane Central Church members of women's ministries shared their blessings with the less fortunate this holiday by giving gift bags filled with much-needed items to the homeless women of the area. In response to the extremely cold weather the city of Spokane was experiencing, the gift bags contained scarves, hats, socks, and gloves as well as toiletry items, and were delivered to Hope House just in time for Christmas.
Hope House is the only emergency shelter for homeless women in the Spokane area, housing 38 guests a night in warm, safe dorm rooms, where no one is turned away. Extra guests are allowed to sit in the lobby or TV room out of harms' way until morning. This inn always has room.
