Bathrooms are now ready for plumbing work to be completed.  Painting of the family rooms is in progress.  Soon it will be time to start furnishing the building.  It is so exciting to see the work being completed.

When completed, the building will be able to house up to twenty-one individuals. The shelter will be open overnight from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. the next day. A paid staff member will be on duty during those hours. Early evening volunteers will help with the evening meal and getting people settled for the night.  Late night/early morning volunteers will be there to provide security and support.  Morning volunteers will help with breakfast and preparing sack lunches.   Volunteers are also needed to assist with office work, publicity, and fund raising. 

Training and job descriptions will be provided for all volunteers. Volunteers will be required to have a background check.   If you want to make a difference in Fannin County and are willing to become a part of our volunteers, please sign up on the website: www.oashelter.com.
