COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Fundraising is underway to reopen the former Genesis Outreach Ministries building at 54 North Hudson Street in Coldwater as a ministry and warming center to house homeless in the area.
Organizers Paul and Tina Pope say they will also be opening the Paul Timothy Abbott Food Pantry on the site.
The Popes say they are in need of donations for repair to the church building and for supplies to purchase bedding and household supplies and toiletries. They are hoping to have the building open by the second or third week in January 2020.
Needed building repairs include the roof, parts of the interior ceiling, scraping and painting of walls, replacement of some water pipes, and general cleaning upstairs and downstairs.
A GoFundMe page for the Genesis Outreach Ministries and Warming Center has been set up, with a goal of $10,000.
For more information or to volunteer on the project, contact Paul and Tina Pope at 269-689-7096.
