We know they’re out there, people without a place to call home. These are people without enough socks and sweaters. These are people without gloves, hats and coats. These people are here in Kent. For the second winter season, Willows Place is helping keep them fed and warm. However, Willows Place lost one of the significant contributors Marcus Elmore, just before Christmas. Elmore, a long-time resident in the Mill Creek neighborhood in Kent, died after a short illness with liver cancer. So now more than ever, Willows Place has immediate needs to fill.
Willows Place has been around the city of Kent. It’s been outdoors, indoors at local restaurants and at a church in the community. Now you’ll find Willows Place at New Beginnings Church, 214 Washington Ave. N. Willows Place is not really a place, but a Thursday night meal, fellowship and a few hours of safe shelter.
