GUEST has received $8,000 in local grants this year through the Gloucester Community Foundation and J. Edwin Treakle Foundation. However, the operations of the day shelter and night shelter cost approximately $30,000 each year. GUEST is seeking donations to assist in the operating expenses for this upcoming year. If you, your church or organization would like to make a donation, please mail to GUEST, P.O. Box 743, Hayes, VA 23072.
