When guests stay at FBC, they are served dinner and breakfast, and are provided with shower and laundry facilities, socializing opportunities and a safe and warm place to sleep. Each guest also received an afghan from FBC, along with a Bible to each person who expresses a desire to have one.
Volunteers from First Baptist sign up ahead of the church's hosting week to help ensure someone from the church is present at all times - from the guests' arrival in the evening to their departure in the morning.
To volunteer for SHALOM at FBC, or to learn more about the church's involvement with the program, contact the church office.
