As a former member of the board of the Brattleboro Area Drop in Center, I was one who, with great pride and hopefulness, voted to establish and open this community's overflow shelter to protect those of us who were without housing through the winter months.
It has been a great thing for this area, in that there is now a safety net and shelter provided to all in need. The participants, both guests and volunteers, get to know and talk with one another, which makes for a healthier community. The guests, as a community, get to know one another and are aware of issues that might develop.
I have stayed overnight as a volunteer; and once a month, along with the Dummerston Congregational Church and the Dummerston Grange, have brought hot dinners for us all to enjoy together.
In my opinion, the shelter is one of the best things that has occurred for all us in recent years.
