I want to inform everyone that I am still with the Shelter of Hope on Broadway. We are housing people at another location. The shelter is up and running. We have eight men staying there now. We have four families staying in volunteers' homes right now. On Broadway, we assist the needs of the homeless. The soup kitchen is up and running on a daily basis, and I am still with the Shelter of Hope.
The building on Sprigg Street is a separate matter. I just want to inform the public that I am still here and we are still doing the work that God has put in me for the homeless of Cape Girardeau.
Thank you all for your volunteer time and your donations. We appreciate it. We have served more than 200 people since we started. We have got 33 of them off the streets with other organizations in Cape Girardeau, and they have apartments and jobs and are doing well.
Anyone who is interested in our mission can come to 733 Broadway and see for themselves. God bless you and have a good day.
Chaplain TERRY WILDMAN, Shelter of Hope, Cape Girardeau
