We hope to see you at the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for the Safe to Sleep Emergency Women's Shelter. This moment marks more than the opening of a new space. It represents a continued commitment to women in our community who need safety, stability, and support. As we step into this new chapter, we also honor the legacy of founder Romona Baker, whose compassion and dedication continue to guide this work every day.
We would be honored to have you celebrate this meaningful milestone with us.
Thursday, May 28 at 4:00 p.m.
West side of the Crosslines Community Outreach Headquarters, 3055 E. Division St., Springfield, Missouri.
Please park at John Deere Reman or SMC.
Thank you for being part of a community that makes this work possible. We hope to see you there.
