QUESTION OF SURVIVAL: What’s it like for a female to live unsheltered in our town?
On November 2, some will find out, and through their education and experiences, we will raise more funds for Ruth’s Place – a women’s shelter and safe space in Helena slated to open early 2025.
Our store opens at 9am with 50% off all items! From 11:00 am-7:00 PM on Saturday, November 2 Good Samaritan Ministries will host a full schedule of daytime events onsite at our store location – 3067 Montana Avenue parking lot!
Food trucks, fashion show, children’s activity tent, in-store sales, amazing silent auction packages, Helena Library clothing drive and a stage with local speakers, Open Mic presentations, music and theatre will help us celebrate Good Samaritan Ministries accomplishments and ongoing programs while raising money and understanding of the ongoing challenges of the unsheltered in our community.
OUR CHALLENGE: From 7:00 PM until 7:00 AM November 3, twelve (12) women will remain on our property overnight to highlight the challenges of our female unsheltered neighbors. They pledge to stay twelve (12) hours, and each seeks ten (10) sponsors.
COMMUNITY OPEN INVITATION:
- Come join the activities during the day…
- We are seeking sponsors to help us achieve our goals for Ruth’s Place!
- Pledge a donation for the volunteers choosing to answer the question – What’s it like for a female to live unsheltered in our community?
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
