We love to serve our Guests sausage and eggs for breakfast, get them started for the day with a hearty breakfast. Would you consider this WishList Wednesday buying packs of "Brown 'n Serve" Sausages to help with the cost of serving our guests? If so, please drop them off at the office during the day or at the 188 Shelter after 6pm. And thank you for your thoughts, prayers and donations.
