LOCAL NEWS: Interfaith Coalition’s Severe Weather Shelters to Open Beginning Wednesday Night

In anticipation of the cold weather forecast, Bellingham’s severe weather shelters will open beginning Wednesday night, December 30. Guests are welcome to come in out of the cold for overnight shelter. The shelters are run by Interfaith Coalition in partnership with the Lighthouse Mission. The Men's Shelter is located at the Lighthouse Mission Drop-In Center at 1013 W. Holly Street. This week, the Women and Children's shelter will again be located in the Lighthouse Mission chapel, 910 W. Holly Street.

We are planning the build for February of 2016 in Guatemala. We (Sean and Rob) are making plans to travel to the country to help volunteer with the construction and meet the family.

Congratulations to the Simpson family who purchased this lovely view home. Thanks for choosing 2ROOFS! By buying your home through us you have made a huge impact on the lives of the recipient family. We can't wait to show you photos of the build and share the story of the family with you.
