Mission and Outreach recently learned that Transformation Village was in much need of new commercial size washers and dryers, and decided that this was a cause they wanted to get involved with.  The Mission and Outreach committee donated the funds and several other people at Community Presbyterian Church were asked to help make this gift a reality.  The old broken units were removed, and two new sets were purchased, transported and installed at the center. Many thanks to Rich and Joan Changus, Roger and Linda Cowgill Smith and John Brasher.

Germaine Luciano-Hatchell, Executive Administrator at the center, had this to say about the gift: 

I just want you all to know the impact your blessing has had on The Solano Dream Center. Because of your gracious donation we have been able to wash blankets, towels, bedding and replenish or nearly depleted supplies. As many of you have seen through our monthly emails we cycle through about 10 individuals each week both coming in and leaving. That is 10 sets of bedding, blankets, pillows, towels and personal hygiene that is handed out each and every week to new incoming homeless individuals. Add to that that we try to have bedding changed weekly to maintain hygiene, reduce bed bugs and other health compromising ailments due to unsanitary conditions and that is another 35 -55 sets of bedding, blankets, pillows, and towels each week and you can see how quickly this can snowball.

Your gift has allowed us to start catching up and continue to improve living conditions and increase the sanitary conditions, dignity, and betterment of the lives of each individual here at The Solano Dream Center.
