Culpeper Warming Shelter
Kicked off Sunday after Thanksgiving.  Area churches sponsor shelter a week at a time.  Hot meal provided each night.  Shelter is open 6p-7a.  Guests leave each morning and may return each evening.   Showers are provided at Powell Wellness Center each Wednesday.  Volunteers are needed to provide home cooked meals in evenings from sponsoring churches.  If your church does not have ample space to host the shelter, St. Stephen’s has offered their church as a site so that your church may sponsor a week.  Contact Father Michael Gray @ 540.825.8786
