• The Sisters Cold Weather Shelter wrote: Gratitude and appreciation to Sisters Community Church for choosing the Sisters Cold Weather Shelter as the beneficiary of donations at their wonderful community concert on August 20. Over $2,000 was raised for our volunteer efforts to provide lifesaving support to our unhoused neighbors. At the event we also raised nearly $700 by selling Turkish towels and pillows donated by supporter Melanie Nelson. So many thanks for your support!

It was the Nextdoor post that found her. I got the call Friday evening, saying, “We think we’ve got Bingo,” and it turns out they did. Her rescuers, Jenny and Steve, said their parrot alerted them by growling by the window when he saw her in their yard. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am. I haven’t been this happy in years!
