Shirley Hines - Coordinator of Reclamation Center

Shirley describes a man who visited the mall pantry and had been living out of his car since August 2022.  He has a job and works locally, but cannot afford housing.  He had used a small space heater to warm his car over winter, and was heating food in the microwave where he worked.  Shirley was able to provide a bath towel and some personal hygiene items along with non-perishable food items and fresh fruit, etc.  He was profoundly grateful she said, but the best part was when he said, "Can I have one more thing...a hug?"
