This month’s Share the Plate organization is Room In The Inn (RITI). On the first Thursday of every month in the winter, GNUUC has been providing shelter for eight unhoused guests. Winter is deadly for people without permanent housing. By opening our doors, serving dinner, offering a safe, warm place for the night, serving breakfast and providing a bagged lunch, we make a difference and improve the lives of some of our most vulnerable neighbors. Money collected will be used to replace air beds, buy warm socks, and purchase other necessities for our guests. You can make even more of a difference by volunteering to help! Come make beds, serve a meal, drive, clean up. This is a great family volunteer opportunity! Contact Jesse Spencer-Smith, Coordinator jesse.spencersmith@gmail.com, 217-377-4867 to volunteer.
