#10 – New Warming Shelter Finds Success in 2016
The Shawano Area Matthew 25, INC (SAM 25) opened SAM’s House Emergency Shelter and finished their first winter season on May 1, 2016. In total there were 630 nights of stay, for 58 individual guests and 8 children. The Shelter served 601 dinners and 590 breakfasts. Local law enforcement also assisted in dropping off 7 guests throughout the season. According to Muffy Culhane, most remarkably was the amount of volunteer hours for the shelter.
“Over 4,000 volunteer hours were put in for our first year” said Culhane. “We are looking to see what works and what needs improvement for the next year.”
The SAM’s House Shelter will reopen on November 1st and will run through April 30 of 2017
