Plan of Work: Leadership & Volunteerism
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Warren County’s main shelter for the homeless population is often stretched beyond capacity. To deal with overcrowding, guests usually are only allowed one extended stay per year. The few spaces for families fill quickly in the winter months and women’s beds are also at a premium. Room in the Inn Bowling Green was established to assist those that cannot stay at the permanent year-round shelter. Room in the Inn contacted Kristi Shive, Warren County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, to see if there was anyone who could sew blankets together for the beds at Room in the Inn.
In response to this need, Kristi reached out to the Warren County Homemaker Stitcher’s club. The Stitcher’s met every Saturday for several months to work on this project.
75 blankets were sewn and made for the beds at Room in the Inn.
