Scenes from our volunteer meeting on Wednesday!✨ We welcomed new staff members and volunteers, learned new kitchen guidelines from Mr. Keston, and shared about all of the services that Lantern Light is now able to provide for our guests (which are way too long to include in this caption!). We hope to have more opportunities like this for our volunteers to connect, be supported by us, and get more involved in our work!!🧡
