🌟 Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers on the Women’s Expansion project! On Halloween, Lindsey built 4 beds in just 2.5 hours. She returned the next day with Pete Stone to finish 8 more beds, a nightstand, and a locker. 💪 Tavan and friends Stephan and Maverick also pitched in, with Tavan planning to return on Tuesday to complete the lockers. Thanks to their efforts, we’re closer than ever to welcoming more women into our shelter! 🏠 #CommunitySupport #VolunteerAppreciation #BuildingHope
