COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Homeless shelter guests of all ages received a warm Christmas meal Tuesday afternoon.
Hundreds were treated to a savory dinner and music, and given everyday essentials including socks, gloves, and hats.
“We’re so blessed and too often we lose focus on what’s important, and this is a good reminder that no matter how tough we think we have it, there’s always somebody who’s got it a little harder than we do. So, so for that reason, it’s extra special to come out and give a part of ourselves,” said Gary Rafferty, a Springs Rescue Mission volunteer.
Volunteers not only served guests, but took time to write them messages of encouragement and peace.
