It has been a sobering, yet heartwarming week at the Nathaniel Hill Emergency Shelter and an example of the philosophy of $10/20:  how smaller donations of money, time, and talent, can make a positive impact in individual lives.  I read a quote by Margaret Cho this week which seems quite appropriate, “Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone’s life forever.”

Below are some pictures of the shelter.  Guests have been sleeping on stretchers.  All of the blankets and pillows have been donated by individuals, service organizations, religious entities, and various other donors.

Below is a picture of Ron and Little Rock Mayor, Mark Stodola.

Several barbers came down and donated their time and services to the guests.

Here are the duffel bags that will be used in the distribution tomorrow morning.  Guests will be given clothing, boots, coats, toiletries, and other essential items.

The shelter will close on Wednesday, but the challenges homeless people confront remain.  Thank you for your ongoing support to our $10/20 project.
