Take a look at this beautiful historic downtown landmark! More than a paint job, it's a beautiful representation of what our homeless program is about - restoration of people's lives. Over the past several weeks, our amazing team of just a few volunteers rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their tools, and got to work refurbishing the exterior of our historic Love Ave. building.

Over the past decade, this century old storefront has been a beacon of light in our downtown district. But more importantly, every single purchase and donation here directly funds the Brother Charlie's Rescue Center's Homeless Shelter, our community’s oldest running Christian charity dedicated to rebuilding the lives of our unhoused neighbors.

We are so grateful to everyone who spent their time and work restoring this charitable piece of history so we can continue our ministry of restoration!

A very special thanks to:

LEE BROWNE - for being there for the long haul, volunteering equipment and nearly 200 hours of hard work from beginning to end.

CHARLIE TAYLOR - for volunteering equipment and nearly 40 hours of hard work for every bit of spare time he could muster, from beginning to completion.

SAME WRIGHT - for volunteering one of his limited Saturdays to roll paint to help us move forward.

REV. JEFF ABEL - for volunteering an entire day to replace difficult facia boards to get the job started.

REV. STEVE TUCKER - for volunteering one of his limited Saturdays to pressure wash the storefront from a lift.

LUKE JORDON - for volunteering equipment to get the job done on schedule.

MIKE YARBROUGH (Tifton Rental Center) - for cutting us some slack on essential equipment to reach the, otherwise, unreachable heights.

CHRIS BROOKS - for his time and the input of his expertise.

TIFTON DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY - for the approval and essential funding to afford the much needed restoration.

BARBETTE BENNET - for the endless supply of fresh cold spring water to keep us hydrated for days on end.

TO ALL WHO SUPPORT US - without you, we wouldn't be here.

Above all, THE LORD - for Nothing is possible without Him, but with Him all things are possible.

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE NEWS!!
This week's Community Resource Spotlight for the Homeless in Tift County is on our local Carl Vinson VA clinic here in Tifton. Georgia's homeless veterans population dropped from over 12% in 2014 to currently 4% due to the increased utilization by the homeless of such resources. Homeless veterans are offered an enormous amount of critical resources and services here in Tift county, as well as access to housing opportunities through the VA homeless programs. The local clinic was much needed, and many worked very hard to bring this invaluable resource and services to Tifton.

There is often great concern and compassion for individuals in need, but much less awareness about what is available for those we are concerned about and desiring to help. Where there may seem to be insufficient help or resources, there is often more than sufficient help and resources available if we lead them in the right direction, especially for the homeless population.

In order to help raise awareness of the large number of resources and services available within Tift county for those who may need them, we are going to be promoting them here on Facebook for our community over the next few weeks. There is often great concern and compassion for individuals in need, but much less awareness about what is available for those we are concerned about and desiring to help. Where there may seem to be insufficient help or resources, there is often more than sufficient help and resources available, especially to the homeless population. We are starting with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities provided by the state, due to the fact that many homeless individuals are impacted by substance abuse, mental illness, and/or other behavioral health conditions/issues. Below is a list of services provided through the DBHDD, accessed through our local Legacy Behavioral Health Clinic located at 334 Tifton Eldorado Road. Crisis intervention, mid-level care, nurses, doctors, and case management are provided on-site for diagnosis and services. These are at no cost/free for the indigent and are provided on a sliding fee scale for anyone else. Please help us share this information for the good and well being of all.
