A big THANK YOU to the Sunflower Ramblers who presented Fresh Start with handmade lap blankets for our shelter guests. They travel in their RVs all over Kansas making stops to check out museums and the local sites. They also like to handout these blankets to organizations that can put them to good use.

Thank You goes out to The Magdalene Project for sponsoring the Warming Center at the Knights of Columbus Hall during this bout of freezing cold temps and possibility for snow, lots of snow. Since Fresh Start has now opened our Night Shelter Program, we spoke with many of our Partnering Agencies prior to opening to help us fill the gaps of services that we had handled before this big change. One of which is the Warming Center until we get all our staff and volunteers in place. So again, thank you goes out to the Magdalene Project and their volunteers who are able to cover this time. Over this weekend, we will keep our clients in so that they won't have to travel in the snow if they don't need to. If you have questions regarding our Night Shelter Program, don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate our community's support of what we are doing in Junction City, Geary County.
