**Thank you to the Twenty volunteers who signed up to
staff the respite shelter during St. Augustine’s week, August
24-28, 2015. Teams of volunteers prepared an evening meal
for the guests and overnight volunteers enjoyed the hearty
meal with the guests and then slept over. Old First Reformed
Church on 7th Avenue and Carroll Street hosts the shelter
during the summer months and faith-based communities in
Park Slope provide the volunteers to staff it for a week. We
thank the St. Augustine volunteers for their support of this
effort to provide those in need with a good meal and a clean,
safe place to sleep. CAMBA, a non-profit social services
agency in Brooklyn, organized the program. CAMBA services do not end in summer; shelters are open year around
and the need for volunteers is ongoing. If you would like to
volunteer or learn more, contact Joshua H. Foss, T:
718.369.7226 ext. 40319 / email: [email protected]

Baptistry.
