Mrs. Smith has been bringing her class to Davies every year since we opened in 2003, bringing a meal, donating supplies, and learning how Davies serves our neighbors experiencing homelessness. This visit, they met with Matt Stacy and Davies staff to learn about “connecting the dots” between our unhoused neighbors and the wider community. 🏠️

We’re so happy to see the Smarties smiling faces again!😁

Some traditions are just pure joy. 💛

🎙️ Community Update: Davies Shelters on WLAQ

Yesterday, Davies Board President, Stacie Marshall joined Elizabeth Davis on WLAQ: Good Morning Rome to talk about what’s happening at The Davies Shelters and how community partnerships help us support our unsheltered neighbors.

We were also joined by Marilyn Brajas, a Berry College Environmental Science & Studies student, who shared how meaningful it’s been to serve alongside Davies, build relationships with guests, and spend time learning and working together in the garden.

Can You Help Create Personal Space Where It Matters Most?

One of the most meaningful things we can offer our guests is a place that is truly theirs.

Right now, we have two practical needs across our shelters:

- Men’s Shelter: We need a new, durable system for personal food storage. The wire shelving currently in use is falling apart and no longer meeting the need. Guests deserve a reliable way to store their own food safely and respectfully.

- Women’s Shelter: We are also in need of 2 new portable closets for our women’s shelter. These give each guest a personal place to store clothing and belongings, offering privacy, organization, and a sense of stability.

In both spaces, the goal is the same: dignity through personal space.

There are several ways to help:

- Donate portable closets for the women’s shelter. These are listed on our Walmart wishlist. [https://buff.ly/bLwncZc ]

- Help build or source a durable personal food storage system for the men’s shelter

- Donate a ready-made storage solution that would work in either space

Nothing has to be custom-built. It simply needs to be sturdy, functional, and appropriate for shared living environments.

This is a quiet kind of service.
The kind that helps someone feel more settled and more secure.

If you can help, or know someone who can, please comment or send us a message. Small, practical acts like this make a real difference every day.
