Hannah’s Place Emergency Shelter – an arm of Siloam Mission named after 11-year-old homeless advocate Hannah Taylor – officially opened its 65-bed facility yesterday morning after a month-long test drive saw 1,500 beds filled.
The shelter, which provides hot showers and meals, clean clothes and clean living space is just another step in assisting the city’s downtrodden, said Taylor.
“More importantly than a place for them to sleep is that it’s a place where (homeless people) can come and be cared for, like I am at home by my mom and dad,” said Taylor, whose Ladybug Foundation contributed $20,000 towards the project.
Do you know of other youth who have made a difference in their community?
Do you know why Hannah Taylor started to "Make Change" for the homeless in Winnipeg?
