IHN guests are families with children who, because of a crisis situation in their lives, have lost their homes. The program provides for them to live at Austin area churches while they find housing and get back on their feet. IHN families will live at our church and will be fed and sheltered by SHPC volunteers. This is your opportunity to help these families through this time of crisis. Young children make excellent hosts because the guests are often young children. Sign up in the narthex or contact coordinator Lara Manire at 512-922-3615 or IHN.shpc@yahoo.com, or call co-coordinator Victoria Venditelli at 512-914-7676.
