Congratulations to our president, Kristi Stokes! She received the 2026 Ambassador Award from Grandma’s Marathon.

Whether she’s promoting the race, getting the downtown ready, working behind the scenes or volunteering near the finish line, she has served as a true ambassador through the years.

Thank you Grandma’s Marathon and Kudos Kristi! 👏

Today marked a big move.

Business leaders and social service industry leaders came together to announce a model of collaborative care. This was also a recommendation from the Imagine Downtown 5-year plan.

It means Union Gospel Mission, Chum and Damiano are restructuring core programs to avoid duplication, streamline homeless response and improve case management.

The collaboration will allow the temporary congregate shelter to remain at Damiano, Chum’s remodeled facility would serve as a transitional and family shelter for those ready to move into permanent housing, and UGM’s proposed new center would serve as triage-the first place for shelter. This creates more structure for guests, services in closer proximity, and more beds. It also means that guests will no longer stand in line outside the Chum foodshelf as distribution there will change.

The goal is that our downtown and the community will see fewer people living outside and more people having a structured pathway toward housing and stability. This transition will begin in spring 2027.

This helps improve conditions for our downtown businesses and for individuals who are unsheltered. Good things happen when everyone works together for the betterment of our community!

Tiny bubbles!

Half price wine Thursday featuring Airfield Estates', Cabernet Sauvignon🍷

Rich and refined, this 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a full-bodied yet approachable experience. Aromas of black cherry, cocoa dust, and black currant unfold into layered notes of smoked fig and a delicate touch of graphite. On the palate, bold flavors of blackberry juice, salted toffee, and a hint of cola are supported by smooth, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The finish lingers with nuances of sweet, toasted sandalwood, adding depth and elegance.
