City Light for Women and Children by Darlene Pritchard
Think for a minute....
What would you do?
No job, your company downsized
No home ~ foreclosed on months ago
No warm bed, gone with the house
No car, it was sold to buy food
Two children
They are hungry, tired, cold and cranky
So are you.
Your wallet is empty
Not even enough for McDonald's value menu.
What would you do?
In Boise, Idaho there is an answer: City Light
for Women and Children.
In the center of downtown Boise a beacon light shines out to
those in need as City Light is open for women and children
with a warm meal, a warm bath, and a warm bed. This is not
just a rescue program ~ it is a program that changes many
lives. This program offers a lot for women who join the
program and begin training and preparing to go back to work.
Those who graduate from the program are soon able to return to our
community with jobs and on their own.
On November 8, 2012 from 5-8 PM Bigelow Tea hosted a tea party
for the Boise community to raise funds to help support
City Light. This effort reaches out
into the community for help with this ongoing critical need in the
Boise area. Compassion is active sympathetic concern
for the suffering of another. What better way to be actively
involved ~ than by supporting City Light?
