The residents were all homeless women of the area with their children. The Dram Center is a Christian non-profit agency that seeks to provide a home environment. We mentor these ladies to gain skills and a job to get back on their feet. We average between two and three ladies leaving the Center every month with a job, a place to live and the skills to make it on their own. Needs now include painting and cleaning rooms that used to be for the old hospital so we can open up more space for more ladies. Also, reading to the children and organizing food and clothes closets. Just spending time letting these good folks know that somebody cares is also fun and is always needed!!!
