Re-introducing a familiar face - Stacy, who was formerly camping at Cascades Gateway Park and is now a resident at one of our shelters.
Salem Reporter did a piece on the reopening of the park and interviewed Stacy (see the next story in the newsletter).
“After he started coming to Church at the Park’s Turner Road facility, employees there helped him get his driver’s license and paperwork in order. He recently moved into Village of Hope, the church’s micro shelter site in northeast Salem, and said he now gets enough to eat and is on waitlists for his own apartment.”
“I love it,” he said of the micro shelter. “It’s one step toward getting my own place”
Stacy brings joy to the people around him and we are excited to see him make positive steps.
