Interfaith Community Shelter Group P.O. Box 22653 Santa Fe, NM 87502
From The Rev. Kenneth Semon, Rector of the Church of the Holy Faith, Santa Fe,
"The Interfaith Community Shelter Group publicly acknowledges City Councilors Patti Bushee, Chris Calvert, Rosemary Romero, Rebecca Wurzburger, Miguel Chávez, Carmichael Domínguez, Matthew Ortiz and Ronald Trujillo for the $50,000 grant to fund the faith community's third year of providing a safe alternative for homeless individuals who otherwise would be on the street or camping in the hills in the coldest months of the year.
We are not competing with any other agency. Our mission differs from shelter programs with length-of-stay limitations. We are an emergency shelter in the truest sense: taking care of those with no place to go; providing wholesome meals, clothing, hygiene items, haircuts, foot care, and referrals to the excellent service providers in Santa Fe for guests seeking help with employment, health, and behavioral or other issues that prevent them from reaching their goals, realizing their dreams, and, ultimately, moving into supportive housing."
