Over
the past several years, a series
of overflow shelters were set up throughout the City to service the
City’s homeless population during the cold winter months from January
through March. Over one hundred people were given a warm bed, a hot shower
and a hot meal because dozens of volunteers have stepped up and
volunteered to operate the overflow shelters. "If these shelters were
not in place, these homeless individuals would have been sleeping on the
streets, noted Parayno. On behalf of the City and its residents Mayor
Jasiel Correia II's Chief of Staff, Chris Parayno, presented awards to the
organizations involved on April 28, 2016 at the regular meeting of the
homeless program directors at the First Baptist Church. |
