We are grateful to announce that the Friendship Room has returned to its home at the Center of Charity after several weeks of temporary relocation to Trinity Episcopal Church. Though our capacity for food donations remains limited while the Gym Pantry is being completed, we are fully operational in the kitchen and serving guests again! Monetary donations for the purchase of daily meals are greatly appreciated and can be made to All Saints Parish at 817 Sable St., Alpena. We give thanks for the steadfast generosity and volunteerism that have upheld our ministry throughout this season.
The Center of Charity is a safe hub of compassion and care for our community members. We want Christ to shine through our mission to serve all people no matter their barriers.
“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2
