CCO Critical Supply Bank Program (led by Debbie Kjonaas) distributes donated basic needs for people experiencing homelessness. A coordinated effort by Durango Christian Church Homeless Outreach Ministry provides the UNHOUSED with blankets, Bivy bags, coats, gloves, hats, hand warmers, small propane bottles, and other items.

Sometimes, we just gotta make it happen!
Thanks to our faithful helpers, Darren and Lora White! My husband and business partner, Steve Baukat, does most of the loading and unloading. We had just made pots of coffee donated by Durango Christian Church. Other volunteers were either home sick or digging themselves out. Eventually, we were greeted by 15 very cold friends of ours who were ready for a hot cup of coffee. Donna Mae took a selfie just to prove to herself that she could take the beautiful snow-ladened day. Schneider Park was too deep in snow for us to chase people down -- except for Darren. He lured folks sitting near the river. Come'n out and enjoy chats with our guests any Saturday at 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Flexible! Early arrivals usually shovel the snow so we can make a path to our shared picnic! |
