Shelter Needed

I would like to express my deepest concern that there be a homeless day 
shelter in the Barre area. I was happy to hear that this situation was being 
addresses with serious intention to follow through with just such a project. 
Having been on the verge of homelessness many times and working at the Safe 
Haven in Randolph, I know the need is great.

The winters in Vermont are harsh and bitter cold. Nothing is more important 
than a warm home to give shelter to those who don't have it. A hot cup of 
coffee and a meal are essential to all who have no place to go. Personally I 
feel there should be a relaxed atmosphere and information on where one can 
spend the night as well. The cruelty of winter should be met with the warmth 
of shelter. This should be a right not a privilege.

I pledge my full support for just such a shelter.
