Bunks at One80Place, Charleston, S.C

Formerly known at Crisis Ministries our homeless shelter moved into it's new space and expanded it's services. They held an open house this morning and I started there before heading to work. I am so glad I did. What an impressive operation. I am so proud of Charleston and the board and staff for pulling this off. Many of my regular readers helped as well, after I shared the need for the white sheets featured in the photo above. So many people bought, delivered and mailed in sheets they had new sheets for every bunk.

The photos below include Brad Cashman who is the Director of Community Involvement and has opportunities for anyone interested in helping out and the girls from Keys for Hope.

CRISIS MINISTRIES IS NOW ONE-EIGHTY PLACE.

Thirty years ago we opened our doors as a basic shelter and soup kitchen. Today we operate shelters in Charleston and Summerville, and provide everything from health services and counseling to legal assistance and job training for homeless individuals, Veterans and families.

We feel the new name – One-Eighty Place – better represents all that we do to help people turn their lives around and begin again.

A month or so ago I shared a request from Brad at Crisis Ministries. They were ready to move into their new and expanded quarters and hoped for new sheets for the twin beds in the shelter. I passed the request on to my online friends and the response was incredible.  Brad sent this photo with some of the linen loot they received. Thank you all so much!

Joan,

I’m sorry for just now getting this to you.  Our staff took a few photos to thank everyone for helping us with our linen drive.  We ended up with an overwhelming response and couldn’t have done this without your support.

Thank you so much for getting this out to your contacts.

Crisis Ministries is now

One80 Place!
