Albany, NY - Community Resource Federal Credit Unions employees donated $1,945 to Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless (IPH) to help with its Safe Haven Shelter. Housed at IPHs Drop-in Shelter, Safe Haven is an emergency shelter created to meet the growing need for warm places for the homeless to sleep during the winter months.
"Every night we convert our Drop-in Shelter
to a 40-bed dwelling. We originally planned for 19 beds, but the demand is so high that weve had to make accommodations by purchasing extra cots and borrowing some from the Red Cross," said Janine Robitaille, Executive Director of Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless.
Community Resources employees raised a total of $4,800 during the year for IPH, which was distributed through A Taste of Albany, the Summer Youth Program, Partners in Philanthropy, and the final check contribution of $1,945.
