Partnerships & Collaborative Support

Susan Butler, leader of Plymouth Congregational Church’s sleeping bag fundraising drive, with Ryan Galliher, Good Samaritan Ministries Our Place Outreach Coordinator. In addition to 30 bags previously delivered to Good Samaritan Ministries’ Our Place, Ryan will very soon distribute these 25 bags to more of Helena’s Homeless neighbors.
“Thanks to the generous donors, who make it possible to purchase these very warm Sleeping Bags,” said Susan.”We anticipate buying a few dozen more bags as more tax- deductible donations are received.”
This is the second winter that Plymouth has raised funds to purchase Sleeping Bags that are distributed by staff at Our Place.
