Homeless Shelter

HOMELESS SHELTER

4/20/15

     A homeless shelter was not something I expected myself to ever photograph. It was definitely a neat experience compared to all of the other trips we have taken, but I think it was good that we got to photograph a different type of place then we are used to.

     This was a room for newborns in the facility, or very young children. The baby toys and books looked fairly new and in good condition which made me feel positive about the things they were providing the children and families.

     A playroom was designed for younger kids to play with each other. It was very safe and child-oriented. The room had a cozy feeling to it which I am sure was very good for the children.

      This playground was kept very clean, as was the rest of the facility. It looked like it was recently put in as well. I particularly loved the amount of activities they had for children to do.

     Their mission statement was something that stuck out to me when a representative was talking to us about their program. I love how much they want to help people get back on their feet. It is very admirable in my opinion.

     They had a room dedicated to holding gifts they were planning on auctioning off at an event soon. They also had a few blankets hanging on the wall and a piano. I am assuming this room was used for gatherings, meals, or just storage in general.
