Announcements!

Thank you to everyone who donated holiday baskets to FACETS' clients! Your generosity put smiles on the faces of more than five hundred homeless men, women, and children who were homeless during the holiday season. Thank you!

_________

Due to the wet and wintery weather we have been experiencing, FACETS has had many clients approach us for shoes, socks and boots. While we can not accept actual shoes/boots because of storage limitations, please consider donating gift cards to shoe outlets, such as Payless, to help our clients keep their toes warm this winter!
