Haircuts, laughter, and smiling faces all around! Sometimes a fresh haircut is about more than looking good—it’s about feeling good, too. Today was a great day at the Upper Room✂️❤️😊

🚨 Important Upper Room Announcement 🚨

Our new Director of Pet Food Procurement has arrived.

Unfortunately, he has absolutely no qualifications, spends most of his workday riding around on a push broom, and has yet to return a single email.

However, he wanted us to remind everyone that we're running low on DOG FOOD.

(And apparently CAT FOOD too... although the cats insisted we mention them only after the dog made his grand entrance. 🙄🐱)

If you'd like to help our guests care for their beloved pets, donations of dog and cat food are always appreciated. For many of our neighbors, their pets are family, companions, and often their greatest source of comfort.

Donations can be dropped off at the Upper Room Dining Hall during business hours.

The puppy thanks you.
The cats reluctantly thank you.
And we thank you too. ❤️🐶🐱

🍧🚨 Volunteer Investigation
Update 🚨🍧

Two of our volunteers were recently caught red-handed near the popsicle supply. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the popsicles were, in fact, delicious.

No charges have been filed. The evidence has been completely consumed. 😎

They may not walk into a church building, but they might walk into the Upper Room. Let's make sure they find love when they do. ❤️

🎉 **Volunteer Spotlight: Niki**

Some people have a special gift for making others feel seen, and Niki is one of those people.

As a high school volunteer at the Upper Room, Niki goes out of his way to make sure our guests are celebrated on their birthdays. He brings desserts, gifts, and most importantly, kindness. He understands that everyone deserves to be recognized and reminded that they matter.

What makes Niki so special is how seriously he takes that mission. He knows that a birthday isn't just about cake and presents—it's about letting someone know they are valued, remembered, and cared for.

Niki's compassion and thoughtfulness have touched countless lives, and we are so grateful for the joy he brings to our community.

Thank you, Niki, for helping make the Upper Room a place where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and loved. ❤️🎂🎁

A very special thank you to the Soroptimist Club for their incredibly generous donation of backpacks filled with amazing supplies for our community members.

Gifts like these go far beyond the items themselves — they provide comfort, support, dignity, and encouragement to people who may be going through a difficult time.

We are so grateful for your kindness, generosity, and continued investment in our community. Thank you for helping us care for others in such a meaningful way!

What if one evening could change someone’s entire day?

Every night, approximately 150 people are served through the Upper Room Dining Hall with a hot meal, kindness, dignity, and a reminder that they matter.

Seniors. Veterans. Families struggling between paychecks. Neighbors experiencing homelessness. People simply going through difficult seasons of life.

And now, YOU can be part of making that happen through our Community Table Program ❤️

For $360, you can sponsor an entire evening meal service serving approximately 150 people — and partial sponsorships are always welcome.

Community Tables can be sponsored:
• One time
• Monthly
• Weekly recurring

This is a meaningful way for individuals, families, churches, organizations, memorial groups, and LOCAL BUSINESSES to directly care for our community.

All Community Table sponsors receive:
✨ Recognition during the sponsored meal service
✨ Featured on Upper Room social media
✨ Mentioned in newsletters and community outreach
✨ Tax deductible sponsorship

Every Community Table helps provide more than just food. It provides hope, compassion, connection, and dignity to people who truly need it.

If you, your family, business, or organization would like to sponsor a Community Table, we would love to partner with you.
