Today's photo takes us underneath the Eugene Street Bridge at 300 Spring Garden Street. This is where the 16 Cents Ministry holds their services and where they serve meals. At the moment, since it is winter and cold, the ministry has set up an outdoor, cold-weather garmet closet. Associated Scaffolding donated the fencing and anyone who has a clean warm coat to donate can hang it on the fence. Those in need can find something to wear at no cost. Their motto is "Take one if you need one, leave one if you can."
On the day we visited, it was cold and people were taking advantage of this great community resource dubbed "Project Warmth." It is nice to know that there is a place to go for someone in need of a coat or scarf. You don't even need to ask permission. In addition to clothing under the bridge, food distribution, fellowship, and worship happen every Saturday at 6:00 p.m. That would be a good time to drop off an article of clothing and to see the ministry in action. Every day is a good day to think about what we can do for others. If you are a homeless person in Greensboro or person in need, you probably already know about all that happens under the bridge. If you are in a position to help, be prepared to feel really uplifted the first time you witness all the good the 16 cents ministry does.
That is a good initiative.
