After lunch, we visited Homeward Bound’s, AHope. AHope is
the only day shelter in West North Carolina. It gives homeless people a place
to stay during the day before they go back to their campsites or night shelters
to sleep. AHope also gives homeless people a place to shower and store their
belongings that they cannot carry around with them. While we were there, the
shelter was closed, so we were able to wipe down all of their storage bins, and
sweep their storage room. We also cleaned windows and tables, and picked up
trash around the building. It was really neat to see all the behind the scenes
work that it takes to keep a day shelter clean and running. It a really great
experience, and a great way to end the day.
