What's Happening at St. Paul's
Set up volunteers
The truck bringing the guest's beds and belongings arrives between 11:30 and noon. Set up volunteers unload the truck, take the contents downstairs and set up the beds and rooms for the guests. This includes posting welcome signs, making up all beds, setting each guest's room up to be as comfortable as possible and providing a set of bathroom supplies for each guest. This work takes about an hour and a half to complete.
