Fundraiser for Elim Church/Strong Towers Shelters a Success

Fifty people signed up to play Undie-Go, our virtual fundraiser benefitting those experiencing homelessness on April 23.

Everyone needs underwear, and our goal was to provide packs of underwear to all residents who stay at the shelter. Elim/Strong Tower Shelters houses 40 women and 40 men and couples each night.
