The Executive Corner
By Dan H. Melyon
After several years of hard work by numerous people, organizations and city and county government we have located a site for our much needed new facility. This facility will replace the current rotating overnight shelter program (INNS) with a 24/7 single-site homeless shelter and will also house our food pantry. The location is on 79th Street just east of and adjacent to the Kenosha Achievement Center. We continue to look for others to join our capital campaign committee to help with the hard work ahead. We are looking for interested persons to become involved with the steering committee, fund-raising development committee and many more opportunities. Please contact me at melyond@shalomcenter.org for more information or if you want to help in developing and implementing these fundraising plans.
