HDG Opens House For Shelter

HDG is prepared for challenges and 2020 was no different.  Typically, HDG partnered with several churches in Montgomery County to provide space for the Winter Haven Emergency Shelter.  March 2020, Winter Haven Emergency Shelter shut down abruptly, due to church closures and COVID-19, causing us to move all of our residents into hotels.  Plagued by the thought of how we will manage to run the shelter in this pandemic without our church partners and the need for 24-hour shelter, we stepped out on faith and rented a house. This house will allow us to keep women and children sheltered from the cold and reduce exposure to COVID contacts.  This added expense of housing, staff and other operational costs allows us to provide a vital service during these trying times. Your financial support will enable us to keep it going. PLEASE GIVE.
