Keith Hughes, founder of the West Side Neighbors Shelter, announced that the organization has surpassed its fundraising goals, ensuring ongoing food and shelter for those in need throughout the winter. The shelter’s board is focused on creating a sustainable financial structure while prioritizing safety for the surrounding community. Hughes expressed gratitude to volunteers, donors, staff, and partners for their support. The shelter is dedicated to serving all neighbors, including those facing homelessness and addiction, with dignity and respect. As the coldest months approach, the shelter emphasizes the need for cold weather clothing and essentials like cotton gloves, underwear, and socks. Donations of funds and clothing items are encouraged to help meet these needs.
